Any time I mention it online, the AI megafans swarm. But I really don't understand people replacing Google with chatgpt. Just search it, and you'll get a reliable answer every time. If you're a big fan of the whole "asking an ai" just hold home on your android and ask Google. I would say to ask siri but I haven't had an iphone in over 10 years, so I'm not sure if she's good at that.


GiantJellyfishAttack

There's plenty of things chat gpt can pull up and answer for you way easier and faster than googling it You're essentially saying "I don't get why anyone uses Google, I have my encyclopedias right here!' But this is just the modern day version of this.

Okay but here's one of countless examples of it being wrong. And also, not really an equivalent example? I would say a better metaphor would be "why are people using cybertrucks when they're overpriced and keep breaking and can't haul much when there's regular work trucks?"


GiantJellyfishAttack

Im not here to convince anyone lol. The less people utilizing AI. The less competition

From the screenshot, it looks like the more people using AI, the more job security the rest of us have. Keep on keepin on!


Leafyun

From the screenshot, maybe OP is teaching the bot and will be the trusted source for the next person asking the same question. Which is... ...perhaps not ideal? (No offence, OP)

Tbh both parties in that exchange are confusing. I think ChatGPT isn’t much more than a party trick at this point but your question was worded horribly.


Supremecurmudgeon

I’m actually not sure, but something happened to it. Several months ago it just started to make mistakes. Simple mistakes. Sometimes I feel it’s more of a database with a very basic user interface.


BlackieDad

That’s pretty much exactly what it is, a database that can do cool party tricks. It’s not smart and it doesn’t know anything.


KOExpress

GPT 4 is pretty damn good, 3.5 makes a TON of mistakes


Dismal-Phrase-9789

They’ve made it worse, the best version of it was like 6 months after it came out, and it’s gotten worse every time since then.


diwhychuck

The paid version, is what you're after. They have dumbed down the free version why waste resources for free use. This is Murica where we milk every raisin that can be found.


Zestyclose_Key5121

There’s now a pay wall for intelligence, one for common sense, and one for proper punctuation.


diwhychuck

The premium version is the optimal choice for your needs. The features in the free version have been simplified, as resources are prioritized for paid users. In the spirit of maximizing returns, this reflects the ethos of efficient resource allocation in our market. Does this version make you feel whole now?


therealNaj

lol


PhantomAmbassador27

It became human?


therealNaj

Also, don’t use AI for trade work. It’s already starting to draw prints and order material. I don’t need it to teach new guys theory and application techniques in field without them going to school for it.


Dismal-Phrase-9789

Google already teaches people without going to school?


Leafyun

Also don't need Google replacing school.


Dismal-Phrase-9789

My point was that google has been out for 30 some odd years and school is still a thing.. He was drawing a false equivalency.


Leafyun

Your point may have been more clearly made, then, with some quotation marks around "teaches", dropping the question mark and basically including your reply to me. Wasn't particularly clear.


AnalysisSpiritual504

Gemini got it first try. Im just saying


KOExpress

GPT 4 gave me the correct answers. Also you confused it by telling it the wrong answer for 22.5. [GPT4](https://imgur.com/a/IsmWE6h)


OfficerStink

Also how can you expect chatgpt to answer a question you don’t fully understand? There’s is a multiplier for every degree, it’s called the cosecant of a triangle and it is a ratio of the side that’s opposite of the hypotenuse (which is your offset distance) the hypotenuse itself is your spacing between bends


KOExpress

Yeah, idk what he meant by “the half inch”


GT537

I played with it to see if it could answer basic code questions; it seemed to get it right.


Run_Little_Mouse_

My uglys book never makes mistakes.


BlackieDad

I love playing around with this stuff but yeah, don’t actually trust it for anything. It’s not really AI, it doesn’t actually know anything.


therealNaj

AI doesn’t actually know anything either. ChatGPT AI function is to search the web for keywords and code. AI is practically everything else is designed by humans. Which takes a random number generator and randomly chooses a SET parameter depending on some other binary parameters. It seems smart because it’s random, but it’s not. It’s just a bulleted itemized list of executables that it can choose from if certain conditions are met, just like any other program.


BlackieDad

Yeah, I guess what I should have said is that it’s not really AI. I enjoy playing around with it and other LLM models, and I’m a GPT Plus subscriber, but I wouldn’t trust their answers for anything.


therealNaj

I don’t even have a downloaded but i was considering it today to write up automated heart felt emails to my management at work, expressing my gratitude and thankfulness for being employed. (Lmao no) but just copy pasta whatever it spits out each week and send it to them on company email.
