I like to call AI the next gen search engine, but be careful of some things:

  • you're much easier to track and profile

  • you may be fed false information easier without context of source information

  • you're killing the planet

  • hallucinations

    That makes it something other than a search engine, not a new version of one.

    I disagree.

    I can go into chatgpt and search for landscaping companies near me. It will link them.

    I can search for a recipe.

    I can search for anything I would normally use a search engine for with much faster speeds.

    If that's not searching, I don't know what you mean.

    Google and Bing return the results instantly for me.

    Is chatgpt twice as instant?

    Ya with their AI things. For example, of you dont HSE their AI things, searching for a recipe yields you results of said recipe. Click on it. Then you have to scroll though a bunch of bullshit about their family recipe and how it tastes, then they should you the ingredients. Then the sizing. Then the instructions.

    Do the same on an AI assistant and its just text of the recipe and steps no bullshit.

    One of these is improved over the other.

    Recipes are something I rarely take the first result for, since they can vary widely for the same dish.

    Do you care what website it came from?

    Have you ever checked to see if it actually matches the source page recipe?

    Recipes are something that I always check a couple sites for to look for consistency or variation and some cooking sites are better than others.

    Yes I care what the source site is, that's why you can check sources in chatgpt. Anyways its only one example, and I'm not defending AI here, my argument is that they are basically improved search engines. What is a search engine, you might need to ask yourself. You query, something responds.
