    Search engine where already doing great at giving you answer to by description. For specialized question the wiki or documentation dedicated to your field will be much better. You have no guarantees that LLMs will not generate garbage so you have to check the source (if they exists) so just read the source it’ll waste less time and energy.

    Human are much more than 'automatic plagiarism bias machines’ … don’t dare to equate an autocorrect with life.

      I do dare to equate them. Sorry if it offends you but I’m not religious or spiritual. Thought, reasoning, consciousness… are just the product of the computing power of the human meatware. There’s no reason that computing couldn’t be done by electronics instead of chemistry. Are we there yet? I don’t think so. Will we? Who knows. Equating llms to an autocorrect is like equating a lightbulb to a modern computer.

      And answering your first two paragraphs: no they aren’t doing great at that. In fact search engines have been going to shit in the last few years. And no it’s not ai’s fault, I would say it’s seo’s and upper management’s.

        I’m not arguing on religious or spiritual ground, I don’t follow any religion and I’m not into spiritual stuff.

        Reducing people to what they can produce is where my problem is. LLM are a word prediction machine by design that’s why I called them glorified autocorrect.

        I won’t waste both of our times, you have your opinion, I have mine and let’s leave it at that.

          I just think that many people are underestimating a very powerful tool. Taking labor from humans is the good part! Oppressing, controlling, spying… are the dangerous and scary parts. Even the adds! Imagine the level of personalization they can get.

          But anyway, have a good day!
