Ai has killed a lot of message boards.

Along with suppressing the top 10 or so things you actually searched for.
All in an effort to push you to use their ai assistant.
Which you gave to talk to for a few responses to get the answer that was suppressed.
Tell me again how AI is helping you?

Idk but I use it for damn near every question or anything I'm doing instead of searching Google/reddit it does it for me in seconds. Definitely saves me time.

I have been using Copilot for several years to get summaries of information instead of a bunch of vague links to various websites that might or might not be useful.
I don't use Copilot or any other AI tool to generate images, videos, term papers, articles, editorials, etc. aka anything that might be misconstrued.

I use n8n with local and some cloud AI models to automate basically everything in my house.

True story - at an event recently where there was a scavenger hunt, I said, "We could ask ChatGPT?". My 9-yo grandson said without hesitation, "AI is not helpful."

It isn't. It's not remotely intelligent. It's simply advanced Data mining. I asked if for football games today, it gave me games from 30th of October.

I don't mind data mining, it's the generative AI that I don't like.

AI summary and reddit are typically the first results
Back in the day if you were searching for say and F150 problem diagnosis you would in the first few search results see a F150 or ford truck related problem!
For the most part someone in that group has had the same exact issue as you and they would have the solution!
I agree with you on AI and the suppression of Genuine answers from real people with past experience!

Were you ever taught boolean operators and similar search mechanisms? I've never had problems because 1) I know how to search, 2) I use DuckDuckGo, not Google.
ChatGPT gets less dumb when you pay for it, too.

I am so sick of asking a question that isn't political and AI then sugar coats whatever I asked with a liberal coat of paint.
I was asking about Noriega in Panama and I got a full thesis on why it was completely different than Maduro. I didn't mention Maduro or Venezuela.

I use AI all the time as a sounding board. I don't "rely" on AI for anything of importance. But the LLMs are getting better, IMO.
I like analogies. In work and in life, it's common that I need to take a thematically similar example and apply it to something else with (sometimes very) different facts. It both helps with my work and is how I get my head around new material.
And I've definitely noticed the models getting much more adept at breaking down the concepts/analogies I throw at them and actually providing useful caveats/feedback. Which I can then evaluate on my own.
Odd as it is, the worst AI experiences I've had have been asking for a straight up answer to an obscure/hard to google question - because the LLM will fill the void to provide an answer and it wants to provide a definite one.
Whereas if you give it a couple of concepts/theories/accounts/etc. to compare/contrast, it provides more useful output.
