    Google’s built in AI for searches is hilariously inept about a third of the time.

    That’s when you notice it being hilariously inept. It actually worse than that, but in areas you’re not expert enough to notice.

      Quite true, which is why I try to double-check whatever the output is, and of course read all the other results, comparing and contrasting. One must do this with news and loads of other data, so it’s at least a developed skill.

        That sounds like a lot of work. I just fucking do the research Myself instead of asking an incompetent machine I don’t trust.

          Regardless of using AI tools or not, there’s always a variety of information to sift through if you want to research something and get a solid, full spectrum result. If an LLM can save me time in that process, then great. If it can’t, then there’s no point in asking it.
