Meta “programmed it to simply not answer questions,” but it did anyway.

      Yes, people are being forced to use it if they want to, for instance, search using Google or Bing.

      As the parent comment suggested, or there’s no way to opt out, currently.

      I’m glad you see value in it; I think the injection of LLM queries into search results I want to contain accurate results (and nothing more) a useless waste of power.

        Injecting that into search result is a bad thing, I’m with you on that. Try DuckDuckGo. They use Bing but don’t insert all of that AI crap. The results are much more vanilla. It’s actually easier to find stuff because it’s not that cluttered.

      I always ask all people defending AI, or rather LLMs, what’s the great value they all mention in their comments. So far the “best” answer I got was one dude using LLMs to extract info from decades old reports that no one has checked in 20 years hahaha. So glad we are allowing LLMs to deetroy the environment and plagiarize all creative work for that lol.

      So, what is the great value you see man?

        It was never made for information retrieval. It’s made for high-level reasoning and language understanding. That is where it shines. You completely misunderstand what this is all about. You’re trying to use a car to paint a wall.

        There is really no argument against LLMs if they are used correctly. Just relax a bit and embrace it with a bit more curiosity. It won’t kill mankind, just like fire, agriculture, or the steam engine has.

          Me? I’m not using LLMs at all hahaha. I’m asking you, who says they have great value, to provide examples of their uses. I just provided pretty much the only one I have heard, which some random dude told me in a different thread. Everyone else, like you, just keeps it abstract and just bullshits and bullshits hahaha.
