You would be shocked to know how many people use TikTok as a search engine
I'm not on tiktok, but I'll admit to using YouTube as a search engine a lot. Also googling something and immediately hitting the video tab before reading any of the results.
I just ask chatGPT…
Why? All it's going to do is output some words that have a statistical correlation to your input words
Well, that is mostly what I need and it summarises the search results as well.
Of course, you have to apply your critical thinking skills, but you gotta do that always everywhere. Normal humans talk as much trash as LLMs do, in my experience.
