@feisty_lemming@zeroes.ca It depends on what you're using it for. If you're fact checking, it can be faster to put in a document and say something like "Fact check this piece. Show your sources," which gives you a list of links to click and check. It's faster than putting each thing you want to check into Google and then sorting through the links (and now the AI slop too). It will also surface relevant links you may have missed that don't show up in the first 10 or 20 on Google.

@feisty_lemming@zeroes.ca You can also specify the sources you want it to use with something like "These are the 20 sites I usually use. Check there first and add anything else that seems relevant." But I'm sure there are lots of other use cases where it's more in the way than helpful.

@grammargirl@zirk.us Maybe it would be faster. I object to the mass illegality of the content theft, the environmental destruction, and all the other terrible things that come with it. So I can’t bring myself to use it in order to possibly do stuff faster. And I’m fortunate that for work at least, so far I’m not being forced to. Many who object are not that lucky.
