    Sorry, I like answers without having to deal with crappy writing, bullshit comments, and looking at ads on pages.

    As long as you don’t ask it for opinion based things, ChatGPT can search online dozens of sites at the same time, aggregate all of it, and provide source links in a single prompt.

    People just don’t know how to use AI properly.

      Oh, you don’t know what searxng is.

      Ok, then. That’s all you had to say.

      Shit’s confidently wrong way too often. You wouldn’t even realize the bullshit as you read it.

          AI gives different answers for the same question. I dont think you can make a prompt that can make it answer the same all the time

          Calcgpt is an example where the AI is wrong most of the time, but it may not be the best example

              Previously it would say 2. Gpt thinks wailord is the heaviest Pokemon, google thinks you can buy a runepickaxe on osrs at any trader store. Was it google that suggested a healthy dose of glue for pizza to keep the toppings on?

              Ai is wrong more often than right.

                AI is right when you use it for the correct things. The user is wrong when they think it is supposed to be all powerful. And AI companies are ultimately to blame for marketing it as something more than it is: a buggy word calculator, that requires a lot of user effort.

                I use it every day, and I know what it can and what it cannot do. I don’t complain, because ai understand it’s basically “alpha” software at this point, but I can see a huge difference between it now and last year.

                Try to ask ChatGPT to make an image of a cat without a tail. It’s hilariously impossible. Does that mean it can’t summarize a document or help me calculate compound interest or help me understand a coding concept? Nope.

                  The majority of people using AI use it to ask a question, and AI will reliably spit out the wrong answer. This ‘alpha’ product is pushed absolutely fucking everywhere, is currently terrible to use properly for 99% of people, and online in less techy spaces people try AI like it’s always correct.

                  If you can spend the time to filter out it’s constant lies, good for you, most people don’t even know it’s constantly lying.

                    Right. It’s not ready for the average user. I agree completely. It has, however, made me significantly more productive in every part of my life.

        The ironic part is that it’s not bad as an index. Ignore the garbage generative output and go straight to cited sources and somehow get more useful links than an actual search engine.
