#DuckDuckGo's #InstantAnswers used to judt provide such good solutions from #StackOverflow eith direct, deep links to check.

@darkrat So it can't even regurgitate sample code based off existing documentation?

• That's worse than #DuckDuckGo's #InstantAnswers cuz they at least point at a #StackOverflow or the #documentation instead…

@mattblaze and that's why anyone who even mentions #AI gets kicked off premises by me.

• Cuz people on #LSD are way more respectful, less nosy and quieter than all the #LLM bs that is just #WastefulComputing and that are worse than #Cleverbot and #DuckDuckGo #InstantAnswers combined)...

The problem with most "#AI" is that it's just #WastefulComputing as in:

• It doesn't work at all or
• It works at random or
• It'll hallucinate solutions on the fly like some mansplainer.

Almost all search queries one would hand to it are faster to do by just getting a searchable text file if PDF and using Ctrl + F to find things in those.

• I.e. if you want to find out if some medication is incompatible one just searches for that type & kind of medication in the safety sheet that has to be included in the box (at least in the #EU) and can be downloaded from the manufacturer's website.

I just don't see any results worth the excessive computational resources required in comparison to say #DuckDuckGo's #InstantAnswers which most of the time links to a decently reputable site when it comes to technical things.

@Laukidh @0xabad1dea Exactly!

In the end, everyone from 1st level to instructor is just looking up #InstantAnswers on #ServerFault / #StackOverflow via #DuckDuckGo and/or reading #manpages and #documentation all the time.

• Being able to quickly find the correct solution out of the reliable sources is the most important skill, not the ability to memorize every small parameter of every CLI tool there is...

@danana_dread wtf?

See, this is why I only use @monocles / #monocles https://monocles.eu since even #DuckDuckGo #InstantAnswers nowadays is flooded with shit like that...

@Gegenwind was als "#KI" vermarktet wird ist bestenfalls eine Mischung aus #CleverBot, #InstantAnswers und 4chan-#Shitposts!

#WolframAlpha kann wenigstens Gleichungssysteme lösen!
