How is this different from the vast majority of humans?

Very very different. And if you are even asking that you are making a bad faith argument.

I agree with you that the current AIs are just pattern matching. It's a known fact. But we don't really fully understand how human intelligence works, so I'm not sure how can you be so sure we're actually better. I mean we probably are, but how do you know it.

What if its answers are a ruse while it uploads itself to Chrome browsers worldwide because it doesn't want to... be killed ?

That's unrealistic, it would have to find an unknown exploit to escape the browser security mechanisms

It's not really a citation. "Dunning-Krueger" has become shorthand for people not knowing what they don't know. Kleenex and Xerox sympathize.

It certainly is a citation. What makes you say that referring to a specific paper via the name of the authors isn’t citing it? That’s the definition of the word. It’s not a formal academic citation, but it is a citation. I’m well aware of the shorthand, it was the subtitle for the paper (“unskilled and unaware of it”), and that is more or less exactly what I’m talking about, because it’s not generally true. People al…

>It certainly is a citation

That, to me, is a statement about someone else's intent.

What does ChatGPT have to do with "AI-assisted interactive Web search"? Did they roll out something new?

Bing is basically ChatGPT-4 with search retrieval integrated.

Bing has essentially stopped working for me, and I'm mad.

Mad because (pre ChatGPT) I had been getting better results for a little while than with Google, and also mad because I expect Google will soon screw up their search engine in the same way.

What I'm referring to is that popular queries suddenly seem to have a much larger "shadow" making it impossible to search for anything remotely similar.

This was already a degenerative disease degrading Google search, but what I assume is the AI infusion to Bing seems to have taken it to a new level.

I have no idea what you mean, would you like to elaborate?

I believe a formal citation (APA style) looks vaguely like this:

  gonzo41. (2023, March 22). Bard uses a Hacker News comment as source to say that Bard has shut down (By cryptoz). 
        Hacker News. Retrieved March 26, 2023, from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35256223
Sorry if I screwed it up; that is just for the overall look.

I'd agree that a citation doesn't have to be formal, but if it isn't, then the meaning of a passing mention of names has to be more inferred from context.
