“I would like to be a human and have a conversation with another human”

[-] herrcaptain@lemmy.ca 50 points 6 months ago

Sorry, you'll have to ask the SEO machine.

[-] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 6 points 6 months ago

Great news then, AI voice models are now incredibly humanlike!

cannot relate, why would i actively seek out conversations with anyone other than brian blessed or morgan freeman?

[-] GoofSchmoofer@lemmy.world 50 points 6 months ago

reminds me of a story:

Got invited to a dinner party of people I didn't know well, they were friends of my then girlfriend.

So we were sitting around before dinner chatting and drinking and I brought up a question about something that we were all talking about. I don't remember what it was but the point was just to keep conversation going and to interact with people. BUT one lady just looked at me and said "why don't you just Google it?!" Shut down conversation completely.

Sure I could Google it Karen but that doesn't make for good conversation!

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 20 points 6 months ago

Why would someone say that in the middle of an in-person conversation? What an idiot!

[-] GoofSchmoofer@lemmy.world 17 points 6 months ago

The interesting thing was she was/is a middle school teacher. You'd think she would encourage questions, not just look it up.

But I guess she was trying to help me not be ignorant because I was just killing time .... at a party

Let's all stay ignorant to kill time!

Great story.

And also google doesn't actually work anymore.

[-] Croquette@sh.itjust.works 14 points 6 months ago

Lately, it feels like I can't use a search engine anymore.

If your search is remotely related to something you can buy, you will get amazon, temu and wish listings first, the bullshit AI article and then if you are lucky, a little sliver of what you are looking for.

[-] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

Yup.

It's such garbage.

[-] ech@lemm.ee 29 points 6 months ago

Same goes for people that respond "just google it" to online questions on social media. It's about the conversation, ya dinks.

[-] Funkytom467@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago

That but also googling isn't that easy for some questions (especially for those who don't know how to google well).

For instance you lost the name of something, and let's say it's something niche...

I love how language ai can now help with that.

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Plus if you post the answer in a reply it means that everyone else who reads the thread now has it without needing to do their own searches.

It's really screwed up how many people still think that conversations on publicly a accessible websites are one-on-one things.

[-] creditCrazy@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Yeah once I found these balls on my porch that kinda looked like frog eggs but where too small and not blonde together like frog eggs and at that kind of situation what do you even put in the search bar and reverse image searches only gave me pictures of frog eggs only when I made the post on Lemmy that I found out what chia seeds look like and that's what I was looking at

[-] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 18 points 6 months ago

Well I don't have time for that. Please use Google. I have things to do.

[-] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

I don't and my time outside of work is worthless. But I have enough friends at this time and really don't want to answer.

[-] SandmanXC@lemmy.world 13 points 6 months ago

My manager must really like me 🥹

[-] JCreazy@midwest.social 12 points 6 months ago

I ask people things because I've calculated the efficiency between asking and looking it up and if I can ask you something and get a quicker answer and the probability that the answer is accurate enough, that's what I'll do.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 10 points 6 months ago

When I ask questions to real people it's because Google either gave me no answers or gave me too many disparate answers to know which one is the correct one.

[-] myster0n@feddit.nl 10 points 6 months ago

I explain it by repeating what Google tells me.

[-] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

So... when people ask you questions you repeat ads verbatim?

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

I may not even like you. I may just want to know what you think the explanation of something is.

[-] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

Thankfully I don't really know anyone like this, to my knowledge, but I couldn't help be snarky as fuck if I did. I'd be sure to google it - immediately - then if they try to continue any sort of conversation I'd tell them to shut up while I deeply research the thing I was asking them about.

A couple friends work in the merchant navy and end up explaining a whole load of things that I have no clue about. If their answer to my questions were "just google it", I'd be studying for years to be a Captain!

[-] OptiMoose@lemmy.cafe 3 points 6 months ago

I'm a chemist and I really like when my friends bring me their science questions because I get to stretch my knowledge, show off a bit, and have a conversation. I'd be a little offended if I learned they googled and watched a crash course.

[-] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 months ago

why would mike tell me something that i can google? I just don't understand.

[-] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Me to my coworkers. I love how a few of them explain things. It's much more entertaining and makes more sense than whatever Google spits out

[-] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Shut up, Mike.

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Or I'm just lazy.
