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?

I don’t use ChatGPT

Then why are you defending it? Is it necessary for every complaint about AI to have a wall of text clarifying that when we are complaining about extremely common issues with AI that is being forced on everyone that we are using shorthand for those specific issues for those AI implementations based on the context of what is currently being discussed?

In this case I am specifically complaining about ChatGPT and similar implementations. Kind of like when I complain about IPA beers I'm not complaining about every single beer that has ever been made.

Yes, the summary is right but also extremely verbose and redundant. Like the first or very last sentence covered everything. Like how many times does it need to repeat the same thing over and over again?

I'm not defending it, you were just way off base about it and then decided to double down, who's the AI now? 😉

ChatGPT steals many of the features from other LLM's and websites, bit like how Microsoft and Apple and Linux all copy and steal from each other

Yes, the summary is right

Great! Turns out AI doesn't hallucinate everything, it might actually be useful! 🤣

And if that's the case then you need not worry! If you are worried about the accuracy of a statement you can click on the links provided.

This allows you to do 2 things:

  1. on things you are looking for an approximation of you get immediate results (Benefit of using AI)
  2. if you would like to look further into the results you can click on the links like a regular search engine (benefit of integrated search results)

Like how many times does it need to repeat the same thing over and over again?

Because I want it to be and I like it this way :) if you prefer all responses to be more brief you can change it using the system prompt:

I asked it to say the same thing but to be brief:

The phrase suggests skepticism about AI's ability to accurately summarize web content without introducing errors or distortions, likening the process to a "game of telephone" where information gets garbled as it passes through multiple layers (e.g., original source → AI interpretation → human sharing). The user is implying that relying on AI for this could lead to misinformation.

The cool thing is that no search engine can assist in such a personalised way like this

This is cool as heck:

collapsed inline media

Anyway thanks for your time, time to sleep
