When I tried it in the past, I kinda didn't take it seriously because everything was confined to its instance, but now, there's full-featured global search and proper federation everywhere? Wow, I thought I heard there were some technical obstacles making it very unlikely, but now it's just there and works great! I asked ChatGPT and it says this feature was added 5 years ago! Really? I'm not sure how I didn't notice this sooner. Was it really there for so long? With flairs showing original instance where video comes from and everything?

I asked ChatGPT

Why do people bring this up every fucking time?

[-] x00z@lemmy.world 93 points 3 weeks ago

Because they know it's not accurate and explicitly mention it so you know where this information comes from.

[-] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 37 points 3 weeks ago
[-] Xkdrxodrixkr@feddit.org 31 points 3 weeks ago

Because they'd still like to know? it's generally expected to do some research on your own before asking other people, and inform them of what you've already tried

[-] FlyingCircus@lemmy.world 69 points 3 weeks ago

Asking ChatGPT isn’t research.

[-] Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 13 points 3 weeks ago

AI seems to think it’s always right but in reality it is seldom correct.

[-] iopq@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

Sounds like every human it's been trained on

[-] Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone 10 points 3 weeks ago

No, it sounds like a mindless statistics machine because that’s what it is. Even stupid people have reasons for saying and doing things.

People also say they googled, unfortunately

[-] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 83 points 3 weeks ago

Not the same thing.

google allows for the possibility that the user was able to think critically about sources that a search returned

chapGPT is drunk uncle confidently stating a thing they heard third hand from Janet in accounting and then taking him at his word

[-] _NetNomad@fedia.io 24 points 3 weeks ago

but at least your drunk uncle won't boil the oceans in the process too

[-] bassomitron@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago

How dare you, my drunk uncle is completely capable of boiling the oceans! He was even boasting about it at our last family dinner!

People before ChatGPT thought critically of things on Google as much as they do ChatGPT today.

Because people are dumber than chatgpt.

It also proves we don't have a 50/50 split in intelligence. We need to look at the mean, then we'll see most people are just plain fucking dumb

Honest answer? It's easy and it won't judge you for asking stupid questions.

Edit - people are replying as if I said I do this. I'm sorry for the confusion. I don't. This is why I see other people do it. When it comes to the general population, most people don't care, they just want easy.

[-] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 16 points 3 weeks ago

Search engines and Wikipedia don't judge you for asking stupid questions either.

No it'll just hallucinate shit that'll make you look dumb when you go and state it as fact.

Wanted to say: No, according to Wikipedia global search launched in 2020.

But that actually was 5 years ago, damn.

[-] gon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 35 points 3 weeks ago

Getting older... There's a creaking in my bones... 2020 was 5 years ago...

[-] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 27 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Don't listen to them 2020 was like last year. Also the 90s was ten years ago don't let anyone tell you different.

I have to say I think Peertube itself is good, but the content still isn't there yet. Of course we all know that's because there isn't cash to be made on Peertube

If ChatGPT said it was added five years ago, that means it was added anywhere between 13.8 billions years ago and never.

Chatgpt is wrong BTW. But yeah its been there for a long time.

[-] Crozekiel@lemmy.zip 57 points 3 weeks ago

Why the fuck do people ask ChatGPT for shit like this? ChatGPT doesn't know facts. It's a magic 8-ball with more words.

[-] eronth@lemmy.world 20 points 3 weeks ago

Asking chatgpt can be super useful to get info. I just don't understand why people don't try to verify what it says before just re-posting like fact.

[-] Taldan@lemmy.world 19 points 3 weeks ago

For basic fact checking like this, it's basically useless. You'd have to go look it up to verify anyway, so it's just an extra step. There's use cases for it, but this isn't it

[-] Ulrich@feddit.org 7 points 3 weeks ago

Explain AI in 10 words or less:

There's use cases for it, but this isn't it

[-] bigfondue@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago

If you are just going to verify the info, why not just find out yourself and save yourself some time?

[-] nulluser@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

It depends on what info you're trying to find.

I was recently trying to figure out the name of a particular uncommon type of pipe fitting. I could describe what it looked like, but had no idea what it was called. I described it to chatgpt, which gave me a name, which I could then search for with a normal search engine to confirm that the name was correct. Sure enough, search results took me to plumbing supply companies selling it, with pictures that matched what I described.

But, asking it when a particular feature got added to a piece of software? There's no additional information one would get from the answer to help them confirm that the answer is correct.

ETA: The above strategy has also failed me many times, though, where chatgpt gives me information that follow-up searches only confirmed that chatgpt hallucinated the answer. Just wanted to say that to reinforce that you have to assume it's hallucinating until you get independent confirmation.

Why bother even using CGPT when you have to go elsewhere to verify everything it says anyway?

ChatGPT is correct? The irony of people confidently asserting that ChatGPT is wrong, while being wrong, seems to be lost on the crowd here. Kinda makes you understand why ChatGPT is often so confident even when wrong.

[-] Ulrich@feddit.org 10 points 3 weeks ago

Chatgpt is wrong BTW

LOL at this point I just assume that anytime someone cites it. It's infuriating that people seem to think it knows dick about shit. Just mass disinformation, I guess.

You asked ChatGPT and thought it gave you a correct answer…? 🤣

For real though, Peertube is awesome now. Live streaming works a treat, so many plugins and add ons that make it great. Not to mention it now has its own app which is great.

[-] qqq@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

It did give the right answer...

I must be doing something wrong or using a shit instance cause I can't find one at all but everytime I go to peertube (and I"m not searching just locally) I see like 3 videos get posted a day, most of which are videos about Lies of P or car videos. LIke there's no content.

so...what am I doing wrong?

[-] hisao@ani.social 18 points 3 weeks ago

Either poorly-federated instance, or you look in the wrong place? Here's a good one: https://peertube.wtf/videos/browse?live=false

How are PeerTube instances funded? I'd imagine that the cost of running an instance is significantly higher than a Lemmy instance.

Not my experience, still hard to me to find good quality and interesting contents on it. A problem i don't have on pixelfed, so it's not about the lack of algorithm
