Comment on A long video of one person's opinion about "algorithmic complacency"

I’m in that age bracket and one of my best friends, about a month ago, started using chatgpt instead of a search engine.

We went to dinner after work and the place was closed. I went back to my car to grab something and when I got back he was fiddling with his phone and frustrated. He said ‘i’m trying to figure out (using chatgpt) if this other place is open.’. I just opened Google maps, it had the opening hours and I clicked directions and we were on our way.

Known this guy forever and I found it weird he would think that was better.

I’ve never used any LLM, so I can’t comment on their quality, but at least around here the hours listed on Google (or any other large search engine) are frequently … Shall we say, not based on reality.

  You can submit corrections. Help the next person out

    Indeed, and so I should.
    
    Unfortunately, I don’t usually discover the hours are incorrect until I get to the location, at which point I often am too annoyed to remember to do my civic duty.
    
    I will try to do better in the future.

    Understandable. I usually take a photo of the opening hours sign and submit later
    
    If you’re not submitting corrections often, sending the photo along as proof also helps to get it accepted

    Fuck Google, support OpenStreetMaps instead.
    
    I’m flabbergasted how people are not seeing the OpenAI stuff not just as not-that-useful, but very dangerous for privacy and open internet. And Google is trying to catch up, and they are still the biggest threat to privacy and open web.
    
    Don’t use either, every corporation will betray you.
    
    Support open solutions.

    agreed. but most people use gmaps.
    
    Especially in regards to shop opening hours.

It’s a temporary thing. People try out ChatGPT and it’s amusing enough to try some more until you realize it’s absolute dogshit.
