I apologise. But I tend to use it as a search engine now, whenever "your google query reddit" as a search doesn't work. Because Google is fucking busted.

I can't seem to use it to find anything. I need chatgpt to sift through the possible results for me so I don't have to read all the shit that is just pages of the same, obviously not the thing I'm looking for, bullshit

Try Google query + fucking.

It for some reason removes the AI, advertisements and sponsored posts and gives you the results you were after like old Google did.

Are you telling me that if I add "fucking" to the end of my query that the google results might be more reliable?

Absolutely! I think it's because they remove all sponsored stuff when you swear, so no ads, no sponsored posts, no products, no AI overview.

Lol. It's still not perfect, but it is a hell of a fucking lot better, cheers!

Also try going into the search tools section (scroll to the end of the options for Google images, news etc) and changing the search type from "all results" to "verbatim". it makes it more like old Google, with how you can structure searches using keywords etc.

You can also change the timeframe of your search to show only results from the past hour, 24h etc.

Also, as a bookshop enployee: ChatGPT lies.

I had a couple of clients asking me about books ChatGPT had listed. The writers were real, the subject matter was real. The books, however, were entirely hallucinated. Which is weird because each author's full bibliography was publicly accessible, so you'd think it wouldn't have to make up a answer.

So I'm unsure how trustworthy ChatGPT can ever be.

It doesn't actually search for you. Like people think it will go through and do the manual work of looking up facts from various sources for you, collate them, and present them. but it doesn't. It just autofills a sentence based on the search query.

It's autocorrect. It isn't a search, it doesn't know things. It can predict the way a sentence will go, but it doesn't and can't know actual information.

One of the common mistakes I see for people relying on "AI" (LLMs and image generators) is that they think the AI they're interacting with is capable of thought and reason. It's not. This is why using AI to write essays or answer questions is a really bad idea because it's not doing so in any meaningful or thoughtful way. All it's doing is producing the statistically most likely expected output to the input.

This is why you can ask ChatGPT "is mayonnaise a palindrome?" and it will respond "No it's not." but then you ask "Are you sure? I think it is" and it will respond "Actually it is! Mayonnaise is spelled the same backward as it is forward"

All it's doing is trying to sound like it's providing a correct answer. It doesn't actually know what a palindrome is even if it has a function capable of checking for palindromes (it doesn't). It's not "Artificial Intelligence" by any meaning of the term, it's just called AI because that's a discipline of programming. It doesn't inherently mean it has intelligence.

So if you use an AI and expect it to make something that's been made with careful thought or consideration, you're gonna get fucked over. It's not even a quality issue. It just can't consistently produce things of value because there's no understanding there. It doesn't "know" because it can't "know".

its been just over a year since i posted this and i still encounter people saying things like "i asked chatgpt and..." or "i made this with chatgpt and...". and these arent like teenagers or students they're adult professionals using this shit for their job. i dont know how people live like this

I don't know how to make this any more clear but if you use ChatGPT to do work you're only hampering yourself.

If you stop using it (or Co-Pilot or any other bullshit AI helper) you will learn and grow more, develop new skills, and become a more valuable employee at work and/or do better at school. There's no shortcut to developing useful skills, you just gotta keep working on it.

#it is easy to say this now but it was also incredibly easy to say this at the start and at every point along the way ( @qqueenofhades)

So, we tried doing this with a cat we were looking after. We would not get up until the alarm clock went off.

One morning, he was standing by my head and screaming, but not in my ear. I looked up and saw that he had his little face one inch from the alarm clock. Because we only woke up when the alarm clock went off, he decided that it was the alarm clock that he needed to scream at until it woke up.

Uh oh! You are now a were-animal! This means you become a human-sized animal hybrid with uncontrollable bloodlust every night!
