    The thing LLMs can effectively replace is Google search (and other search engines).

    This statement is true on zero known planets.

      I hear the youths are using ChatGPT like we used Google when we were their age, but they must be way better than I am, because when I ask it things I don’t already know, sometimes it gives me truth and sometimes lies.

          Do you sometimes read what you wrote and apply some sort of self-reflection?

        it will be the closest thing to a mind meld we have for sharing information.

        Sorry, the only people who get to talk about mind melds are the authors of Kirk/Spock erotica. I don’t make the rules.

        … Wait, I’m a mod. I do make the rules!

        who in the fuck do you think you’re fooling. all of us have used LLMs for search, not by choice. it’s a garbage technology for that use case (and every other use case) and it didn’t take enshittification for it to get there — it is the enshittification.
