    I understand hating AI for it’s negative effects on the world.

    What I don’t understand is people pretending that it isn’t generally speaking much better than manual search for most general knowledge queries.

    If we count all the ads, all the SEO optimised spam, the hiding the one sentence of substance in a page long article, or the automatic summary of multiple sources, I don’t see how it isn’t (generally) better.

    Sure, if you’re doing actual scientific research, don’t use AI. But everyday queries that 99% of people would do are (sadly) better served by AI.

    I’m not saying that that’s good, just that it’s true. It’s weird to pretend reality doesn’t exist, just because it might involve giving AI credit for anything.
