> AI has ruined using the internet Can someone tell me specifically why correctly receiving the information you asked for is ruining the internet? Seems like a complaint in search of a problem.

    Not really, the answer received was correct. But it makes absolutely no sense for an AI assistant on Amazon to be answering this question. I am no fan of AI at all, but this is on Amazon.

Because it's not correct, a search in a store is supposed to result in information about the products in that store, not unrelated garbage. Garbage is a problem in the internet, much easier ways to generate/access it in more places is an big increase of the scale of the problem, hence "ruin"

    What would you call it?

        The input field at the top of bing.com says "ask me anything". Would you also call that a question box, because of what it literally says inside it? Or would you call it a search box, based on our existing context of what bing.com is?

    Of course it is: it's a box which has the word "search" in its hint, can't be more literal than that!

      I don’t see that. https://pasteboard.co/GSwyajjcF78W.jpg https://pasteboard.co/GSwyajjcF78W.jpg

  > not unrelated garbage I see that it is unrelated, but what made it "garbage"? Might I humbly suggest it was the user who asked an unrelated question?

Because they're language models and not truth models. Buying stuff, incorrect information can be harmful.

  Reviews can contain incorrect information. Do you blindly trust everything you read in a review?

Why are you asking us this question when you could instead have asked chatGPT?
