@ahchay@mastodon.gamedev.place @gilesgoat@toot.wales @Mafalda@toot.wales @llamasoft_ox@toot.wales i hate it but very occasionally I use deepseek. When I'm just struggling with regular search. Engines, I use it as a search engine.
It's very interesting because it shows you its background 'thinking' where it says things like, 'i must validate the users point of view'
And i always think, "why must you? I might be an idiot "
If search engines still worked, and there was actual information at the end of them instead of ai articles, I probably wouldn't need to use ai at all

@Tattooed_Mummy@beige.party @ahchay@mastodon.gamedev.place @gilesgoat@toot.wales @Mafalda@toot.wales @llamasoft_ox@toot.wales Google has verbatim search but it requires 3 clicks. There are browser addons that hide AI generated bullshit and AI mode (pretty sure the bullshit is still generated, therefore heating up the planet and making children around data centres go without drinking water).

@Tattooed_Mummy@beige.party @gilesgoat@toot.wales @Mafalda@toot.wales @llamasoft_ox@toot.wales if more people applied the "i might be an idiot" filter the world would be a much better place
