You can do the same thing with regular web search.
- dartos 3y agoNot as quickly, easily, or convincingly.
- __loam 3y agoWeb search also wasn’t trained to be convincing to humans.
- visarga 3y agoWeb content was created to be enticing to humans. Most of it is just like flowers waiting for bees to come over.
- tsimionescu 3y agoMuch of it is also paying good money to make sure their pollen is in all the places that bees congregate.
- mewpmewp2 3y agoYou can probably even in worse ways find likeminded communities, which are likely much more unhinged than ChatGPT and lead you down a much darker path.
- npalli 3y agoNo, regular web search will just give you links. You have to click and go read the text. Putting together a comprehensive page of (seemingly) cogent arguments will need GenAI.
- mewpmewp2 3y agoPeople like this will go and click those pages, and seek out communities that will agree with their preconceived notions. ChatGPT results are just one mild manifestation of it. If and actually not if as an alternative they will find unhinged forums with echo chambers far worse than ChatGPT. At least ChatGPT isn't actively trying to rip you off to sell those supplements, and it usually adds disclaimers.
- neaden 3y agoI think the big difference is that with web search there will be a couple of reputable sources that will be at/near the top, like web MD and Mayo clinic. I can search and click one of those and be fairly sure it'll be accurate. There is no immediate way with chat gpt for me to know if it is reliable or crank mode.
