Beyond meat vibes

😂

That's a little sad, and probably the fate of a lot of community driven QnA style forums. That makes me wonder, what is the power of the question if it always receives the perfect answer?

unless AI is able to create new answers, for now it just repeats what it's been trained to repeat.

So for older stuff AI will make the search for solutions to already know problems easier, but there will still be need for new answers to unknown problems.

Thank goodness

To be honest, I’ve been using search engines less due to ChatGPT. I typically only use search engines to verify things when I feel it’s needed. Feels like a paradigm shift to me.

wow

Brain dead

Interesting observation that better moderation tools coincided with fewer questions getting asked

What matters is that new knowledge is created, while humans bear less of the burden of routinely explaining old knowledge.

basically you ask the LLM who your daddy is now. the cognitive rot will be INSANE over time.

people wont be able to tell the time without asking an LLM with 20y
