    I don’t want to ask ai. Google automatically gives me ai search results that are piss poor. Those useless results still use energy to generate.

      Google automatically gives me ai search results that are piss poor.

      And these results are taken at face value by a shocking number of people. I’ve gotten into niche academic arguments where someone just copy and pasted the AIs completed hallucinated response as “evidence.”

      I experimented with using AI to generate basic quizzes for students on concepts like atomic theory or conservation of energy, but maybe 2/20 questions it came up with were any form of accurate/useful. Even when it’s not making shit up entirely, the information is so shallow as to be useless.
