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 asked ChatGPT

Why do people bring this up every fucking time?

[–] x00z@lemmy.world 87 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Because they know it's not accurate and explicitly mention it so you know where this information comes from.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago (5 children)

Then why post it at all?

[–] Xkdrxodrixkr@feddit.org 23 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Because they'd still like to know? it's generally expected to do some research on your own before asking other people, and inform them of what you've already tried

[–] FlyingCircus@lemmy.world 63 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Asking ChatGPT isn’t research.

AI seems to think it’s always right but in reality it is seldom correct.

People also say they googled, unfortunately

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 72 points 1 day ago (13 children)

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)

Wanted to say: No, according to Wikipedia global search launched in 2020.

But that actually was 5 years ago, damn.

Don't listen to him 2020 was like last year. Also the 90s was ten years ago don't let anyone tell you different.

I have to say I think Peertube itself is good, but the content still isn't there yet. Of course we all know that's because there isn't cash to be made on Peertube

[–] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Counter point: I dont want to watch content that has a monetary incentive behind it.

[–] Captainvaqina@sh.itjust.works 14 points 23 hours ago (3 children)

Why exactly do you think people create content for you to consume in the first place?

[–] MouldyCat@feddit.uk 17 points 22 hours ago (8 children)

Sharing knowledge. Lots of people are not primarily motivated by greed.

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 9 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (6 children)

That’s great to aspire for but there’s still an almost total lack of content in many genres I enjoy on YouTube. I don’t even think PeerTube has progressed as far as the Lemmy community in terms of content availability. Admittedly this is probably because text and image content is much easier to create, but as a user I don’t find much reason to spend time there yet.

So if you don’t want a monetized model, there is still a need to have another solution to the lack of content, and I haven’t seen one yet.

If ChatGPT said it was added five years ago, that means it was added anywhere between 13.8 billions years ago and never.

Chatgpt is wrong BTW. But yeah its been there for a long time.

[–] Crozekiel@lemmy.zip 52 points 21 hours ago (10 children)

Why the fuck do people ask ChatGPT for shit like this? ChatGPT doesn't know facts. It's a magic 8-ball with more words.

ChatGPT is correct? The irony of people confidently asserting that ChatGPT is wrong, while being wrong, seems to be lost on the crowd here. Kinda makes you understand why ChatGPT is often so confident even when wrong.

I must be doing something wrong or using a shit instance cause I can't find one at all but everytime I go to peertube (and I"m not searching just locally) I see like 3 videos get posted a day, most of which are videos about Lies of P or car videos. LIke there's no content.

so...what am I doing wrong?

[–] hisao@ani.social 17 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Either poorly-federated instance, or you look in the wrong place? Here's a good one: https://peertube.wtf/videos/browse?live=false

You asked ChatGPT and thought it gave you a correct answer…? 🤣

For real though, Peertube is awesome now. Live streaming works a treat, so many plugins and add ons that make it great. Not to mention it now has its own app which is great.

How are PeerTube instances funded? I'd imagine that the cost of running an instance is significantly higher than a Lemmy instance.
