"Nearest X place" is a task for map apps, not broad Web search. But ChatGPT can actually recommend restaurants. You can ask it for ideas, tell it to pick something appropriate for an occasion, be picky about what you don't like, etc.
Trustworthiness of the info is going to be an issue, partly because the model is too small to remember everything exactly, but also because restaurant reviews in general are problematic.
- vineyardmike 4y ago> Nearest X place" is a task for map apps, not broad Web search. Why? I have a big search bar and I dump everything into it. That’s the reality of how I search the web. Every search engine worth its weight has an integrated mapping feature and it will punt you to a map for certain queries. I tried chatGPT for restaurants and it made up places. I personally don’t need it to be a concierge telling me about places appropriate for certain occasions (although that would be useful to many i admit) when I can’t trust the results anyways. Fool me once… and I fall back to Google because I don’t have patience to be fooled twice. > restaurant reviews in general are problematic. Not related to chatGPT but I think everyone gets this wrong. Yelp et al are good for auditing a restaurant selection, but are terrible for searching. I find that those listicles from major publications that list “Best X in $Location” are great for discovering if you don’t want to walk around and actually look at storefronts. So I think there is trustworthy (enough) review sources, but the ML models can’t know that.
