Did people feel this way about Google as a search engine when it first became popular?

[snot]

5. LLM AI's are dumber than an abacus for text

and currently have documented error rates running from 7 to at leaset 88%, depending on the subject area.

I'd guess people quote AI responses because (1) thinking requires more effort than googling; (2)most search engines now seem to put them at the top of their search results; and (3) people rightly distrust AI responses and so mention that that's what they are by way of a caveat (i.e., "here's what an AI said, fwiw, which may not be much&quot .

AIs will get smarter, but at present, I understand that a lot of companies are experiencing buyer's remorse and trying to hire back more humans.
