    used to be that you could vaguely describe something into google and find useful results without knowing specific terminology to use. yells-at-cloud

    the LLM is sometimes OK at turning “i have this this and this but don’t know anything about the field” into something that i can do a new search for and read something a human wrote, but under no circumstances am i trusting the hallucinatory vomit for factual information.

      yeah, the enshittification is very real I am just pushing back on the framing “I hate AI but I have to use it”. I don’t honestly know why, it just bothers me when we deny our own agency in these things. LLMs may somehow reach that level of saturation into society that it is completely unavoidable, or even just mostly unavoidable, but currently it really isn’t, at all, for 95% of people. It is choosing convenience, and that’s not like, a sin or whatever, I just think we should be honest with ourselves about it, the contradiction bothers me.
