Something bizarre is happening to media organizations that use 'clicks' as a core metric.
It depends: are you in Soviet Russia ?
In the US, so as of 1/20/25, sadly yes.
Its too bad that some people seem to not comprehend all chatgpt is doing is word prediction. All it knows is which next word fits best based on the words before it. To call it AI is an insult to AI... we used to call OCR AI, now we know better.
LLM is a subset of ML, which is a subset of AI.
Negative IQ points?
chatbots and ai are just dumber 1990s search engines.
I remember 90s search engines. AltaVista was pretty ok a t searching the small web that existed, but I'm pretty sure I can get better answers from the LLMs tied to Kagi search.
AltaVista also got blown out of the water by google(back when it was just a search engine), and that was in the 00s not the 90s. 25 to 35 years ago is a long time, search is so so much better these days(or worse if you use a "search" engine like Google now).
Don't be the product.
Depending on what I needed I remember using AltaVista, AskJeeves, Dogpile, and I feel like later on MetaCrawler or something like that (would search multiple search engines for you and ordered them scored based on platform and relevancy iirc?)
And Hastalavista if you wanted to find things that Altavista didn't.
I miss AskJeeves. Those were some great commercials too.
i can feel it too when I use it. that is why i use it only for trivial things if at all.
I mean, I stopped in the middle of the grocery store and used it to choose best frozen chicken tenders brand to put in my air fryer. …I am ok though. Yeah.
That's... Impressively braindead
That’s the joke!
