People are using LLMs as search engines when these things require at least 10x the energy to achieve the same result. If all Google queries were transferred to LLMs we wouldn’t have enough energy in the world to power that crap.
Of course if Google was the Google of 10+ years ago and actually provides you with relevant, good search results instead of ad infested dribble that would help.
I don’t want to be subject to the output of generative AI and yet and I continuously am because AI bros oppose things that would enable my preferences (e.g. requiring AI output to be watermarked or tagged) and shove it in places I visit regularly. So fuck them and their ocean boiling algorithms that will never make art worth seeing, prose worth reading, or music worth hearing.
Some of my students use AI. They regularly submit assignments with incorrect information because even though they got the ai to do the research for them they don’t know which part to pull. In a niche science subject, ai doesn’t always have the answers. Especially when I’m using information that hasn’t been published online or that has been paywalled in journals.
It’s very depressing to see them use ai for something that should be simple reasoning as well, like “compare and contrast coal power to solar power, you may use your notes”.

Fuck LLMs, stop being lazy.
Not to mention that they’re actively training our replacements, while simultaneously teaching generative AI how to better exploit human ignorance.

I wish there was some alternatives to Google… Oh wait…

the utter privilege dripping from this comparison, you must be trolling.
Using corporations products enables corporation to exist.
We generally dislike corporations, especially the ones that have no regard to human creativity.
Besides, if it insults them they can go and ask chat gpt to tell them they are awesome.
