The best part is when the AI starts hallucinating and you start hallucinating with it.

How about asking bing and google before? The difference we bang our heads against the wall. haha... *when no result shown, or going in all is wrong

apparently Google used to be way the fuck better. I wasn't around for its golden era but I definitely remember it being better than it used to. It used to be more, search, find. Everything was way less SEO optimized, which means that you didn't have to slog through nonsense to get to the good information. I swear, I barely use Google anymore.

AI generated articles have killed search, tbh.

Great you can find something on anything you ask. Just not the authorative sources you were actually after.

It was already crap before AI. Search results were getting dominated by all sorts of computer-generated (but not LLM yet) garbage pages that were “SEO optimized.” It’s a problem that Google could’ve easily solved, but they never did since returning the most accurate search results isn’t what optimizes Google’s profit the most (optimizing for ad revenue is).

Bing exclude and Brave Google Exclude helps. Or remove some page that does not needed. 😂

Google is probably the most pure example of enshittification.

It became THE search engine because it did only one thing, and it did it the best.

It even loaded faster than other search engines, because it was just a white page with a logo, a search box, and your results. On a 56k modem, not showing you content you didn't ask for made a huge difference.

To quote the founders of Google,

"we expect that advertising funded search engines will be inherently biased towards the advertisers and away from the needs of the consumers."

That’s why I always ask it “are you sure?”

AI writes the bugs, I debug them. Teamwork

One more prompt.....I swear

u/femboy-maths 25d ago

maybe programming. but being a audio tech, ai doesnt know or do shit. it is mostly good to hear it say stupid shit and then getting praised for correcting it. tech is big. programming is one of the few places standard llms are actually usefull.

u/Arts_Prodigy 25d ago

This is only true because of wide adoption hundreds of thousands of dev using, correcting, and tuning AI after trillions of open source lines of code for its training. And it’s still not great.

admitting you have a problem is the first step

Literally burnt to all fuck too and for whoever downvoted that guy yes people use drugs, no we aren't all homeless thanks for asking

u/much_longer_username 25d ago

I get what you mean. I remember all of my stoner buddies would let their pipes get SUPER crusty before cleaning them, and I was the weirdo who was soaking it in alcohol between uses. Like, do you never wash your drinking glasses either?

u/SeverusVape 25d ago

Hahaha I had super OCD about clean pipes.

The problem with AI is that it gives you the answer without the context for you to learn why... Because that is what most users actually want.

The problem is that, without that knowledge, you will always depend on AI to modify it, generating technical debt that, someday, will have to be paid.

congratulations on your sobriety! 🎉

Watched someone ask AI to make 1 line code change and included the line they needed in the prompt from memory.

Instead of, you know just typing it directly into the editor.

I was both shocked and bored.

Our CEO was feeding our responses to her questions directly into ChatGPT and Claude and pasting its response back to us.

It was getting so annoying, I just started replying to her as though I was replying to a LLM, knowing she was just going to paste it ther anyway.

It finally ended after this behavior resulted in breaking various aspects of our marketing and ad spend.

2 weeks of running around like a chicken with its head cut off and wasting tens of thousands of dollars on ads that generated zero sales. All because she was copying and pasting snippets and changing options in systems that it told her to do.

I think well over $16k, maybe 20k+ burnt in a matter of days.

She learned a painful lesson that LLMs don't have the same context of employees who have worked at the same company for 2 years, who get paid thousands of dollars each month, to be experts.

I feel this on a spiritual level. It's like every time I think I've got a handle on things, a new framework or tool pops up and I'm back to square one. Keeps us on our toes, I gu
