A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I don't get what generative ai could add to my browsing experience. How ever I do think it makes a good search engine.
a "search engine" that hallucinates results, including but not limited to non-existent court cases.
And what? Half the shit on Google is completely wrong as well.
Yeah but you can tell from the context that search results are just a list of random web pages that maybe what Google says is bollocks.
Google gives you a bunch of results and says "here, look at these". LLMs confidently tell you things that they may have simply made up and present them as if they're real.
Its an infant tech so there's obviously issues but if you go ask chat gpt how do I play poker you will get a short concise and accurate answer. In my opinion that's the strength of ai as a search engine. Sometimes I just want an answer to my question and don't want to dig through multiple webpages all filled with ads and hostile design.
