"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

How to stop being overly dependent on AI (lemmy.world)

I am a Gen Z university student. The ChatGPT got boom when I was in 12th grade and I have been using ChatGPT, Gemini and Deepseek since then. I am starting to notice that now I cannot do searching anymore. I literally cannot do anything on my own like coding, learning something, fact checking, doing my assignments. I even become so reliant on it that I sometime even ask it what food should I eat, what exercises I should do. Sometimes, I "talk" with ChatGPT more than real human beings, maybe cuz I somehow end up having a bad experience or not so fulfilling experience with people. I have to use AI again and again for the same question, e.g., I asked a question today, I got the answer. If I encountered that question later again, I would not know the answer and have to go to AI for solution. What to do now? How to get out of this dependence on AI?

Don't be too hard on yourself for not being able to search, I'm a student who's not used AI yet, and I think searching using a search engine is a difficult task

The LLMs made search engines near useless by publishing mountains of slop - it's almost all noise and no signal.

I frequently get top three search results for things like "how to sharpen an electric razor" where the article is 5 paragraphs of garbage and then "step one, remove razor, step two sharpen razor, step three enjoy your sharp razor!" ... Then another 5 paragraphs of pointless slop.

Fucking infuriating.

Got a tip recently to limit the search range to pre-2024. Won't work for everything, like current events, but will work for a lot, like heat transfer and normal shock wave equations.
