I mean Google kind of forces me to see the ai search results when I look something up

I’ll typically use it for research in typically uncommon situations where someone is bringing up a statistic or argument that I’m entirely unfamiliar with in a topic I’m usually knowledgeable in, otherwise…I don’t know why anyone would ever use them in an argument. They’re famous for being biased towards how you’ve trained it. If you want it to say Israel is justified, it’ll do that. If you want it to say Palestinians are justified, it’ll do that. A lot just understand how to use LLMs.

My sanity is routinely tested in here, so I gotta use AI to make sure I’m not going off a cliff

Brother using llms for sanity checks is a concerning habit. Notice how well trumps yes men are able to sanity check him?

It’s worked pretty well thus far. All ears if another solution comes along though that beats it.

“If another solution comes along”? What do you think people did before they had llms designed to prioritize agreeability and user engagement? We went and looked at sources and evaluated their information against their potential bias and formed conclusions.

What I’m trying to get at with the poll is, do you take the ai overview fact as fact or do you go to the source to read it for yourself?

Brother I’m not going out of my way to go read an encyclopedia from my local library or whatever to confirm if some keyboard warrior on the internet was right about a U.S. politics topic

I think you know quite well that I’m not suggesting you physically drive to a library, you have access to the entire internet that you can read yourself instead of having a yes model parse it for you and serve you up exactly what you want to see. Offloading thought is a slippery slope, where do you draw the line?

When I’m doing anything but sanity checking myself when I get into arguments with drunk college kids on an anonymous app chat board.
