@zandbelt @rodhilton ... I like perplexity.ai , in addition to Google, yes it's an LLM and can't be trusted, you have to check results, but it provides sources to make that easier

If you have enough knowledge to check the result, fine.

But (a) people are lazy (proofs already exist of people who know but didn't check); and (b) what about the people who don't know any better?

And when these systems start eating their own garbage it will just escalate into utter insanity.

@adaddinsane @zandbelt @rodhilton ...the assumption is I think (which might be correct) that these tools will get better, ofcourse mistakes will remain but that's also possible with traditional search

@ErikJonker @zandbelt @rodhilton
Wtf, that's complete rubbish! How are you going to "check results" without a working search engine?

@whole1day @zandbelt @rodhilton well perplexity annotates results with footnotes which are very often scientific papers
