It’s written Xitter. It’s pronounced Shitter.

Oh I do so envy you

Whoosh haha, it’s a Megadeath reference

Hello me, meet the real me 😈🤘

Whoops, you posted to Lemmy instead 🤪

The information from the model comes from the internet

I rest my case.

It literally does…

You just said so yourself in the comment I replied to.

ChatGPT is not a search engine

It is every bit as much of a search engine as SearchGPT, with the exception of more recent information, as I’ve already explained.

it generates predictions on what is the most likely text completion to your prompt.

…using information from the internet. I’m honestly baffled this needs to be explained. Once again, I ask: Where do you think the information it generates comes from? It’s not just word salad, the words contain information. Were you unaware of the many many OpenAI lawsuits based on this fact?

This is why it bullshits.

It bullshits because it’s trained on bullshit, and doesn’t actually know anything, and isn’t programmed to say “I don’t know”.

This is like saying the library search engine and Bob the drunkard who looked at the shelf labels and swears up and down he knows where everything is are the same thing.

It’s…not remotely the same thing?

It’s like saying an engine that searches the web for answers to your query is a search engine…?

but it does not reproduce text exactly as it found it

Nor does SearchGPT.

So, in your mind, a “search engine” isn’t an engine that searches the web?

Training data from where…?

ChatGPT “knows” things and SearchGPT should actually look stuff up and present it to you.

…where do you think CGPT gets the information it “knows” from?

OpenAI also confirmed it plans to integrate SearchGPT into ChatGPT down the line.

I don’t understand. Isn’t CGPT already just a fancy search engine?

I mean it works ok for things that aren’t important. But you never really can have too much faith in the results because it will state blatantly incorrect answers with great certainty.

At least Perplexity links to the sources

I’ve seen a whole-home wireless charger at some convention. Would be super nifty for home automation and such.

Huh?

We were talking about Netflix…

This is like Netflix Top 10 with no insight into the metrics.

I mean I don’t think you need to see the metrics. They’re the top 10 because they show you the same fucking content over and over and over again at the top of your “feed” or whatever. Even content you’ve already watched.

And I don’t even understand why. What do they have to gain from this?

The quality of Reddit has been declining for the last ~5 years. Even if you ignore all the shady shit Reddit themselves have done, the platform has been declining due to simple popularity. Simple-brained people joining and upvoting memes and reposts and fucking TikToks. There’s also just the toxicity of society in general. There used to be honest discussions and nuance and input from industry experts. Now it’s incredibly corporate, and hardcore liberal, and full of the same toxicity as Twitter.

It used to be mostly Libertarians and Atheists, kinda like how Lemmy is all sysadmins and Linux enthusiasts.
