it's not about choosing sources, it's not about the number of them either, it's about the way chatgpt processes that information and how inprecise the wording generated may be, it's the translation process that is the problem. Today I used chatgpt to study to have them explain something to me and it did give a very missleading explanation. Something that doesn't happen if you just google itBehrauder wrote:
I use it so often that I was pretty sure it wouldn't give a wrong answer in this context. The search tool wouldn't Google it, find the correct answer, and then give the wrong answer. I don't think I need 10 sources to confirm the date the Wii was released (which isn't even important information to me), but ChatGPT searches multiple sources in less than 1 second and gives me a concise and quick answer (although Google is just as quick). In short, in this context, it really doesn't matter how the research is done, and I just asked ChatGPT out of habit.Patatitta wrote:
I get asking question that require more interpretation like describing a anime, I do that myself too, but just looking for information or something, I would much rather google something and then join a wikipedia link that having that same information be processed through a AI that may hallucinate, also when googling you have like 10 results and with chatgpt you're forced into the one that the AI decided it was the most appropiate, and I like having the freedom of choiceBehrauder wrote:
I don't know, it depends on the type of question. For this particular question about the Wii, I don't think it really matters where I search it.Patatitta wrote:

Probably around 80% of the people here are younger than it.
I usually search on Google when I want to see images or find a website based on a specific image. I also use it to search in an incognito tab "[Anime name] + MAL", then copy the URL that I find and paste it into a regular tab to add the anime to my plan to watch.
Oh, I also use Google to find some information on Reddit. I discovered that if you add "Reddit" at the end of a Google search, it's much easier to find what you want, lol.
I think the only research context in which LLMs are REALLY irreplaceable is when you need to describe something to figure out its name. For example: What's the name of that anime with a generic protagonist who...
I guess I don't get why you made the switch to full AI whenever it just feels like a inferior version of google for those purpouses
