Now a days people refer to AI instantly for an answer. Maybe it’s a problem they could have solved within 10min in their head or a question they could have done an internet search on and read a few forums to figure out. However, now people go straight to AI which is known to give many many wrong answers.

I know a couple people that fit this bill and now I almost completely disregard what they say. We’ll even be talking face to face and they’ll ask AI something from our conversation in real time.

    I occasionally do the later, I always give a “take this with a pinch of salt” kinda thing because I know from personal experience LLMs love to spew out complete garbage.

    I only ever use it for surface level yes/no type questions. The sort of thing that a 5 year old bothers their Dad about, inconsequential trivia.

      This is what I think is fine.

      Asking AI about the meaning of some TV show finale or if a movie is worth watching. Have it help you research travel ideas. Ask if it’s true pirates had wooden cocks. Dumb shit.

      Where it’s really fucky is when people using it to do political arguments, have it find legal loopholes (haha fuck you CEO of Krafton), generate essays and creative work (oh fuck all those ai blogs and ai art)…

      It’s lazy as hell and unfortunately, people are lazy and refuse to go beyond the immediate AI answer.

        I think it’s really useful for getting my bearings when I’m not even sure where to begin on a question. Like if I have no idea what the right terminology is to find what I’m looking for, I can use an LLM to figure out what I should even be searching in the first place. After that I’m better equipped to start doing my own research.
