The VergeStop using generative AI as a search engine https://www.theverge.com/2024/12/5/24313222/chatgpt-pardon-biden-bush-esquire
AlexTECPlayz@verge If you want up to date stuff, try Perplexity, at least that provides sources and actually reads sites (provided they're not blocked through robots.txt), it's much more accurate. Still, like the rest of the LLMs, it has hallucinations.
Jiří Fiala Total Landscaping@alextecplayz @verge Perplexity is great. Very very few misses and hallucinations. It surfaces the sources very well. One of the very few AI tools that actually does save time and work.
Chancerubbage@verge is there a code that can be placed in a Google search to suppress AI generated answers?
Pete@Chancerubbage @verge
I'm not aware of one, which makes Google a nigh-unethical choice for search engine.

I thought I read of one. Unless you can edit the browser to insert it you might have to use the text tag each time
http://udm14.com will insert a http parameter that will remove the Al results from your searches.

Tanya Karoli 4 a better world@verge why do people keep being surprised at this? LLMs paraphrase text, they do not search for information. If there is no text to paraphrase regarding the issue in a prompt, they combine elements into similar patterns and thus produce fictitious results.
jfml - Jonas Laugs@tanyakaroli @verge I think the problem is that an extremely large portion of humanity doesn't know this, including journalists.
Jason Martin@verge @siracusa The biggest problem I have with this article is the headline. It claims you shouldn't use generative AI as a "search engine," but then proceeds to describe a historical research process that shouldn't be relegated to a search engine either! Depending on what you're searching, generative AI might work great, and often does. But historical, factual research is not one of them.
A better headline might be:
“Stop using generative AI as historical research”

Nikolay@verge The recently released O1 version only returns Trump and Clinton.
tolisvvls@verge No shit
Templaillo Ahí@verge Stop using generative AI, period.
@verge una reflexió interessant (amb exemples) sobre l'ús abusiu de les ia's generatives, sobretot quan es fan servir com a font vàlida per fets (històrics principalment en aquest cas).
Vaja, que tots plegats hauríem de ser conscients que ens poden servir com a punt de partida ràpid, però que després s'ha de verificar.... Que alucinen molt!!!

skinnyraf@verge I treat generative AI as I would test a lazy, dishonest, but creative intern. They'd do some basic checks, but if pressed, they'd just make up something. Would you fully delegate your work to such person?
