A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I get his and stallmans objections or disapointment in this case but really it is just another abstraction of search. which by the way was not expected to give perfect answers to questions. one of the top bad things with llm's is the expectation by some that what they send back can be just used without review.
Except that's how a lot of people treat it. And there's so way to guard against that.
yeah that is the problem. although you did have issues with people self diagnosing through google before chatgpt. the problem is the more it seems like an answer the larger the group of people who are going to take it as one. Except for the small opposite group who gets their hackles raised when they get the response that way. Which includes me. Still them giving sources and people using them is I think the best we will get.
