I feel so damn old having to look up “gibbity.” Ugh.
I totally agree though, LLMs are consistently wrong when I ask a work-related question. I work in a field that isn’t particularly niche and use software that millions of people use every day, and LLMs will straight up invent entire menus rather than telling me it doesn’t know how to do something. Huge waste of time, especially when asking a coworker gets an accurate answer right away.
What definition did you find? I could only find it meaning either bullshit or acting foolish, neither of which make sense in op's post. Based on context I'd assume it's basically "to google" using ai but I can't find anything to back that up.
I read it as them treating the initialism "GPT" as an acronym, resulting in "gibbity". I once a YouTuber refer to ChatGPT as "Mr. jip-uh-tee" and I think this is the same idea. I think your definition of "researching using AI" is right, they're just saying it in a joking way.
That actually makes sense, thanks!
This is right.
I initially thought OP meant to google too, but that didn’t track for me. Ultimately bullshitting makes sense in this context (thanks urban dictionary), since they compare someone who gibbities to someone who searches.
Either way it’s ridiculous slang to me, but I’m clearly the wrong generation for it, so I’m glad to know I wasn’t the only one confused.
I'm clearly the wrong generation too haha, because this still makes no sense:
If you ~~gibbity~~ bullshit an answer, you're regarded as smarter than someone who searched it. The funny part is I've actually given ~~it~~ bullshitting a try, and ~~it's~~ bullshitting is wrong so often that ~~it~~ bullshitting actually wastes my time. And, if ~~it's~~ bullshit is right and I don't agree, I can say it's wrong, and with a 98% confidence level it changes the answer.
I used to be with ‘it’, but then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’ anymore and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary.
I way overused "it", my bad there !
Haha but what does it mean?? Is it using ai to search?
Yes
I made up the term to nullify it's credibility. But it looks like other used it too, I was unaware.
Yeah, it's really a waste of time. Will it improve? I really hope it doesn't, id love for it all to crash and burn. But it probably will improve to be better.
Also don't feel old. I just cranked up my 1897 Victoria the other day for some music. Kids these days and their spootufy.
