Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

MFW someone says “chat gpt it”:
Comment section under every post in the god forsaken place formerly known as Twitter.
What's this show called again?
It's from Finding Nemo
Many people I know are also using LLMs for searching stuff.
Its just baffling how they can trust a single answer frankensteind together from often unknown sources presented as a fact.
Jeez we are fucked, aren't we?
2 weeks ago I had an issue with my hardware Steam Link setup. For some reason picture would freeze but sound would still go. It is connected over ethernet so I ruled out connection issues. Googling lead me to nowhere. Adding "reddit" to search had no effect. Then I just decided to try chatgpt. It gave me few things I can try and lo and behold, second suggestion was what I was looking for.
There are things I would rather not ask LLMs. But when I have no clue what to even write in google search bar, I'd rather go for LLM because it can lead me to what I am searching for and from there I can continue my own research.
yeah i feel that, but i also feel the guilt of using 3 glasses of water to cool down the computer that answered me.
at any rate, please do not use grok.
elon is cooling his penis computer with aquifer drinking water from the memphis sands aquifer.
he promised to build a grey water plant, but, y’all won’t believe this… he didn’t. hasn’t even broken ground on the construction.
also, he’s powering grok with generators that have led to ~74% increase in the shittiness of the air quality in memphis from generators’ exhaust pipes.
please do not use grok.
Have been long before LLMs to be fair. It's just that we are taking on speed going down that spiral.
Breathtakingly fucked.
Is it really that much different from the types of people who would believe the first (often bias-confirming) answer they found on Google?
My 10 yr old figured it out when googles AI couldn't tell the difference between spiderman: miles Morales and spiderman 2. "Why is it trying to give me trophies for the old game?"
That's a great lesson for them though! If it's bad at something you're familiar with, what else does it have wrong?
Me when podcasters I like start talking about a subject I'm very informed in
I miss back when podcasts were just folks pissing about, I remember listening to one back in middle school where it was just a couple of guys talking about weird shit they found on the internet while slowly getting increasingly shit faced.
Dead Internet theory is becoming more and more plausible by the day.
At least it beats googles results nowadays. At least in productivity. Instead of trying to figure out which results were vaguely congruent with my search terms and not just SEO-shit, I get shitty results instantly. And with the confidence of absolute certainty that 2 prime dunning-kruger-examples would show.
Clear winner 😁

Doesn't ChatGPT also use google?
I tested this whole concept with Mistral AI. It searches the web, aggregates its findings and provides an answer highlighting potential perspectives / different answers with each one providing a link to the source URL. As much as I hate AI, it does work great that way (since the LLM doesn't have to pull stuff out of its butt).
Are you certain that the answer was actually from their sources? I had multiple occasions where Mistral/ChatGPT gave me sources and I felt like something was off. I then followed the sources and could not find what they found according to themselves. I then asked them to quote the actual text they used to provide said answer and after drilling them a few more times they concluded that yes, the thing they said was actually not anywhere to be found in the sources they provided.
Mmh, perhaps I lucked out or missed something. Everything looked good when I tested it.

The worst part of it is that the person who told you this spelled it wrong.
I think if someone told me that they'd just get blocked.
I've quite solidly taken to the phrase "Just Web search it" and gently replying "yes, I'll Web search it" when prompted to "google it".
I like to say google and use DDG, I want them to lose their trademark

I like using Google as a term for search to annoy Google.
So I'll tell someone to use DDG to Google it
Or Google something on youtube
Or Google something on Facebook
Genericide is a power held by the people, and we should use it more often.
Google has become shit enough that you may as well.
Yet another tragedy of our time is watching Google ruin the internet with its SEO bullshit and then replace it with AI
I don't think the answer is switching to another service that does not respect your privacy. I know it's a bit of a meme atm but I've switched to kagi a few months back and haven't looked back.

Oh shit nice I had no idea this subdomain exists, guess I'll finally be rid of those stupid ai answers in private windows as well!
And it's just a few years ago that I complained that most people don't know the difference between a search bar and the URL bar anymore. I.e. they are incapable of entering web addresses directly.
Well, they're the same thing now on most browsers.
This started when phones became somehow less shitty for browsing the web. So now everyone without a laptop/desktop could use it. And then it got even worse when browsers got replaced by search-engine-apps. "I thought google was the internet?"

Well that's because in the years leading up to the release of ChatGPT Google became shittier and shittier in performing the service everyone was trying to use it for and everyone needed to work. Then came out chatbots, which basically gave that functionality back. For most people accuracy didn't matter because they could finally feel again that going to the internet to learn about something is viable.
Then of course AI makes search algortihms even less useful and all the ethical problems about AI are raised as well.
But in the end I can't really blame people who now use AI instead of Google or something. Finding something with just a search query was always rightfully ours and greedy companies took it to make more ad revenue. Now they are finally giving back a worse version of the original, but one that's still far superior to what search engines devolved into by now. It's no surprise most people love and also need that.
Soon with some tweaking the AI answers will serve the shitified shit the SEO driven algorithms shat.
Like: Use Elmer’s TM ©️ glue on your Tombstone Pizza from Kroger to keep your toppings sticky!
So you’ll get ads baked into your wrong answer.
