"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.

I actually like the option to have LLM text at the top of their searches. Sometimes it's helpful for being pointed in a direction where I might find an answer if I only have vague or nonspecific information to go on.
I would prefer better search results, but it seems like that's becoming impossible.
Still, I'm a hard "No" vote on forced.
I googled an issue for my wife’s laptop and it gave me troubleshooting steps for another brand
The top results had the correct info from Lenovo
Like I said, it's not helpful for queries like the one you suggested. But I've found it helpful if you only have vague or incomplete details and you are not looking for an answer, but only to be pointed in a direction where you might find the answer.
Something like "what was that movie that had a green alien and there was a king and a jet fighter and it took place on a desert planet but also there was a scene with a bathtub".
Or "are there any nintendo action games with a female protagonist and no guns"
I mean, even my mom could tell you who Shrek is
