Question for HN. Do you trust search engines for open ended / opinion questions?
For example, I trust Google for "Chocolate Cake Recipe", but not "What makes a Chocolate Cake Great?"
I would love it if Search Engines (with or without AI) could collect different "schools of thought" and the reasoning behind them so I could choose one.
- Hamcha 4y agoI just add "reddit" at the end of any query of sort and the results get 100x better instantly. It's a flawed approach but I feel normal searches are plagued by overly specific websites (wouldnt be surprised if chocolatecakerecipes.com exists) with lowly paid people to just be human ChatGPTs so they can fill articles with ads and affiliate links
- layer8 4y agoI only trust search engines to list vaguely relevant links. Then peruse those. Form your own opinion. > collect different "schools of thought" and the reasoning behind them The thing is, if an AI can accurately present the reasoning behind them, then it could also accurately present facts in the first place (and not present fabulations). But we don’t seem to be very close to that capability. Which means you couldn’t trust the presented reasoning either, or that the listed schools of thought actually exist and aren’t missing a relevant one.
