    Most of this AI stuff is trash. I think Google AI has maybe once given me a useful answer. Amazon has this thing called Rufus that just slows down the process of searching customer reviews. Just like Google, it’s maybe once or twice given me useful information and none of it worth the wait that it takes for the search results to come up.

    But we are pouring billions into it and increasing our data center power usage by 10x because It’s The Future …

      The problem is AI will always confidently give you an answer like its word is fact. Obviously since you’re the one searching, you’re most likely unable to verify its accuracy so it’s impossible to trust.

      I dont mind AI being wrong when i can immediately tell when its wrong but in searches I’ll never trust it

        That’s a very good point. Things like chat GPT can accelerate the process of doing something that takes time but a human knows when it’s done correctly. But in anything where finding truth is the goal, it shouldn’t be trusted yet.
