    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.

      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.

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

          I am concerned to think of all the terrible and just plain wrong information you have been given.

            Not concerned enough to back any of that accusation up with evidence.

              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.

                  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.

                    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.

          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.

            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’m pretty sure the number of people that have lost their jobs over this shitty text generator has surpassed a million.

        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.

        Tale as old as time.

            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)

            Apologize, you fucking cunt.
