    I’m in that age bracket and one of my best friends, about a month ago, started using chatgpt instead of a search engine.

    We went to dinner after work and the place was closed. I went back to my car to grab something and when I got back he was fiddling with his phone and frustrated. He said ‘i’m trying to figure out (using chatgpt) if this other place is open.’. I just opened Google maps, it had the opening hours and I clicked directions and we were on our way.

    Known this guy forever and I found it weird he would think that was better.

      I’ve never used any LLM, so I can’t comment on their quality, but at least around here the hours listed on Google (or any other large search engine) are frequently … Shall we say, not based on reality.

          Fuck Google, support OpenStreetMaps instead.

          I’m flabbergasted how people are not seeing the OpenAI stuff not just as not-that-useful, but very dangerous for privacy and open internet. And Google is trying to catch up, and they are still the biggest threat to privacy and open web.

          Don’t use either, every corporation will betray you.

          Support open solutions.
