Most search engines are practically unusable due to the massive amount of garbage AI generated sites that take up the search results while having just platantly false information.
The problem with using it as a search engine is that if it doesn’t know the answer it commonly makes things up. I tried using it for work but it got details wrong enough to make it useless.
Most of the time, information that you’re doing something wrong should be enough to prompt you to dig deeper into the matter. It’s not the job of perfect strangers to educate you.
Lemmy has a tagging system, definitely recommend tagging this user so you get a warning that they might be wrong but don’t want to educate themselves, then you can just ignore them and move on with your day.
If we’re talking only about LLMs, then probably the biggest issues caused are threats to support line jobs, the enshittification of said help lines, blatant misinformation spread via those chat bots, and a variety of niche problems.
If we’re spreading out to mean AI mor generally, we could talk about how facial recognition has now gotten good enough that it’s being used to identify and catalogue pretty much anyone that passes a FR-equipped security system. Israel has actually been picking civilian targets via AI. We could also talk about “self driving” cars and the compeletely avoidable deaths they’ve caused. We could talk about how most convolution network AIs that identify graphic imagery and other horrific visuals use massive sweat shops to sort said graphic images for pennies. We could also talk about how mimicry AI has now been used to create both endless revenge porn of unwilling victims, and also faked the voice of others to try to scam them or make them not vote. There’s plenty of damage AI as a whole has done, even if LLMs are the most minimal of all of them.
But that has nothing to do with ChatGPT. It’s what some people were blaming on all of the layoffs when it came out. That would have happened regardless. The news just loves a clickable headline.
Most of these companies will start rehiring again. They just did it to trim the fat, cut the high earners, and get people back in at a lower rate because they’re desperate for work.
That is not at all what I said, and you clearly didn’t read my comment. I’m not defending them. I’m saying it’s not the fault of AI. They were gonna fire them anyway to lower costs, and get cheaper workers. (A bad thing)
Oh I’m aware, but yk calling some a “fucking cunt” isn’t the greatest way to get an apology, in other news sry for my initial response that was rude i was sleep deprived and my judgement wasn’t at its best
Has it? I mean, all this “AI” news is pretty annoying, but how has it impacted our daily lives? ChatGPT has only made mine better.

I haven’t used a search engine since I started using ChatGPT. It does all the heavy lifting for me.

You can’t trust search engine results either. It’s just another tool that you use to arrive at a conclusion. You still have to do work.
You could in the past. About 6 years ago or so the top 3 results were almost always correct.
Currently you can’t because of the AI generated content that gets things wrong the same way as using an AI as a search engine.
I am concerned to think of all the terrible and just plain wrong information you have been given.
How is that different from Google?
Not concerned enough to back any of that accusation up with evidence.

You’re wrong. Educate yourself.
You should tattoo “I’m wrong but I don’t want to educate myself” on your forehead so people know not to waste their time.

I learned it by watching you

A lot of what you’ve mentioned has existed for decades in some fashion. It’s just code.
I’m pretty sure the number of people that have lost their jobs over this shitty text generator has surpassed a million.

Tale as old as time.
We get it you trust big tech and like sucking corporate dicks

Apologize, you fucking cunt.
Well since you asked sooo nicely…
Being a jerk gets you a jerk

Apology accepted.
