Yeah I don't either. Do you know if it makes stuff up because it searches the internet for answers, and then comes up with its' own answer? Or its' answer is purely based on it's poor ability to find accurate information, which leads to nonsense
How does it cite fake articles that don't exist? I had thought that it doesn't even provided sources. Or do you mean like it would say something vaguely like "according to a NY times article", or articles that do exist but are just completely filled with incorrect information?
Same here, I feel like traditional searching will always be superior. I don't think AI will ever be able to give organic responses, because in order to do that, it'll have to either have it's own experiences in every subject, or know how to pull from valid sources correctly in an efficient manner. Like I want to look up results and feedback about something from a real person who's experienced it and used it, and not giving out answers just for profit. Same reason why I avoid basically any article of "official source" at all costs. Anytime I go to a "recipe website" I go straight to the bottom and read the comments, but I honestly stopped going to those and used reddit instead lol
Interesting, I think I agree with you on this. It could be better than traditional searching, but only if it is able to pull accurate organic content with sources. I think only then would it be more accurate and efficient than looking through forum-like platforms.
Discussions and comments are super important too so I guess it would have to pull sources that include that, which I guess could work? That's super important for probably everything, because you might see comments that say
"add 1/4 c flour instead of 1/3 and it was perfect"
or"I used this and it caused a spark in my usb port, here's what I did and my setup, take caution"
or"if you use a 3 monitor setup though, be careful using 2 hdmi and 1 dp, for these reasons, 3 dp is better for these reasons"
or"if you want a more efficient way to farm this item, talk to this npc and do this quest instead"
etc (I just made those up for examples) - but the point is that people comment on posts with tweaks, improvements, warnings, positive feedback, negative feedback, etc. That's super valuable for making a final decision on your own about the problem, which is partially why I don't think AI will ever be the most successful way to find information, because I don't know if it can achieve this more efficiently than forum-like platforms
