When I tried it in the past, I kinda didn't take it seriously because everything was confined to its instance, but now, there's full-featured global search and proper federation everywhere? Wow, I thought I heard there were some technical obstacles making it very unlikely, but now it's just there and works great! I asked ChatGPT and it says this feature was added 5 years ago! Really? I'm not sure how I didn't notice this sooner. Was it really there for so long? With flairs showing original instance where video comes from and everything?

Not the same thing.

google allows for the possibility that the user was able to think critically about sources that a search returned

chapGPT is drunk uncle confidently stating a thing they heard third hand from Janet in accounting and then taking him at his word

Peertube is actually developed by a transphobic communist who turned my daughter gay. Boycott!!!

At this point, ad blocker is pretty much mandatory for me, just like how antivirus software used to be a decade ago (probably more)

PLEASE DISABLE YOUR AD BLOCKER! We use the revenue from annoying you to feed our starving CEO!

Can't wait for them to be starved. Does installing two adblockers speed up the process?

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

They are? This is why you use a pop up blocker…

I love that fair and balanced opinion. I hope he is running for an office I can vote for. /s

but at least your drunk uncle won't boil the oceans in the process too

[–] bassomitron@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

How dare you, my drunk uncle is completely capable of boiling the oceans! He was even boasting about it at our last family dinner!

[–] Wildmimic@piefed.social 1 points 1 week ago

noone boils the ocean with using chatgpt

one transatlantic flight produces the same amount of CO2 as 600000 ChatGPT requests; if you use Quen 2.5, you need to make nearly 2 mio. requests.

To set this in relation, transport only for Bezos wedding in Venice equals about 54000000 ChatGPT requests.

Using a LLM once in a while is negligible.

You’re giving people using google too much credit.

[–] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Unfortunately now Google is ChatGPT. It provides its own shitty AI answers, and its search results have been corrupted by an ocean of slop.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I assumed it was bwing used the current common usage for using a web search, like how kleenex is used for any facial tittle, not literally Google the search engine.

Speaking of literal, Google is putting Gemini results before search results, not using chatGPT.

People before ChatGPT thought critically of things on Google as much as they do ChatGPT today.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

People before facebook thought critically of what they saw on the news as much as they do facebook today.

Sure, people didn't think about things too much at any point in time and sources aren't always perfectly reliable, but some sources are worse than others,
