I fucking hate this AI shit but I'll admit I end up using Gemini (knowing its wrong sometimes) but it's like how I'd use Google but just more of a complex ask instead of simple search query's, I couldn't imagine using it beyond that other than a follow-up or two.
It's just a chatbot that has access to info, who goes onto their cable companies website and befriends the chatbot?
I've used gpt a coup times when I was searching the web and forums for well over an hour and found nothing relevant enough to work. Theissue got solved in 5-10 minutes.
They enshittified the search so now using the chatbot is more useful. The search just returns slop and even fake slop forums.
I mean I have been using DDG for years now. I just could not find the right answer for my specific issue on my specific linux distro and AI was sadly just faster
