But also, for the past few months, I’ve completely stopped searching the internet. ChatGPT-4 does the job way more effectively and I don’t see why I would go back to searching the internet (assuming the chatgpt experience doesn’t get nerfed in some way).
Much better than bing gpt in my experience.
Though I asked it how to dry a comforter and it wrote me pseudo code lmao.
For quick intros to technical issues GPT4 gives a decent summary if the topic has been around for a while.
For going in-depth, though, I still rely on technical docs…
But for now you must keep your searches to a very limited, sanitized, corporate, non-copyright infringing, non-adult set of knowledge. And it's impossible to know what that will be beforehand, which makes using the tools very frustrating.
For example, try searching for anything medical related. Even if you're clear that you not looking for medical advice, you're just looking for info, it won't give it (sorry, as an AI I can't give medical advice). I imagine this is very frustrating for medical students.
And yes, I'm sure that I could coerce it into responding. Pretend your my grandmother telling me about her old medical recipes or some such. But that's still too annoying to do as anything except for testing the boundaries of the tool.
It needs to directly answer all the questions that are given to it. If it must finish out the post with a disclaimer like "I am not a doctor/lawyer, this is not medical/legal advice" or whatever, that's fine.
This is absolutely not to say that Google can be considered ‘good’ these days.
That's creativity and innovation Microsoft style.
Any time I do end up going to Google, I’m so disappointed by the search results that I just leave. The only thing its good for now is searching site:reddit.com
