“I would like to be a human and have a conversation with another human”
Sorry, you'll have to ask the SEO machine.
Great news then, AI voice models are now incredibly humanlike!
/s
cannot relate, why would i actively seek out conversations with anyone other than brian blessed or morgan freeman?
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!
Why would someone say that in the middle of an in-person conversation? What an idiot!
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
Untreated mental issues/illness
Let's all stay ignorant to kill time!
Great story.
And also google doesn't actually work anymore.
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.
Yup.
It's such garbage.
Same goes for people that respond "just google it" to online questions on social media. It's about the conversation, ya dinks.
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.
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.
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
Well I don't have time for that. Please use Google. I have things to do.
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.
My manager must really like me 🥹
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.
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.
I explain it by repeating what Google tells me.
So... when people ask you questions you repeat ads verbatim?
I may not even like you. I may just want to know what you think the explanation of something is.
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!
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.
why would mike tell me something that i can google? I just don't understand.
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
Shut up, Mike.
Or I'm just lazy.
