i feel like every time i talk to a non tech person about ai, the thing they are describing using it for is a search engine. i wonder how much the ad bubble fucking with search engine incentives was the pigeons that are coming home to roost.
@Satsuma it's actually pretty similar to the way google used to raise better sources to the top of the results, yk?
@Satsuma no, this one makes total sense to me - i was talking to our hvac guy the other day, and his example was how he'd have it explain differences in state hvac regulations. chatgpt gives you a nice summary of what the regulations are, and links to the sources, and you can ask "why does this matter" and it links you to, idk, news sources about the local disaster that happened because of lack of hvac rules. it's like search engines + a super helpful librarian.
