Do you equate AI generated with drivel?
No, but there are many who use AI to mass produce drivel
Does their drivel actually stand out or gain market share?

#332I don't mean this in a bad way, but seriously, about time. This was the best use case for LLMs on day one, imo.
Re: ChatGPT Search
#333AdSense/AdWords-like network too? Really curious how it would work in ChatGPT Search.

> Will this fundamentally change how people find and access information? How do you create an experience so compelling that it replaces the current paradigm? I think it's already compelling enough to replace the current paradigm. Search is pretty much dead to me. I have to end every search with "reddit" to get remotely useful results. The concern I have with LLMs replacing search is that once it starts being monetize…
Google has a "site" filter. You can suffix: "site:reddit.com" and get results for that particular site only.
They even broke this for me (in a way) because for some inexplicable reason Google blocks text replacement on Mac in their search.
Yes there are workarounds, but I like using the native OS text expansion and it works everywhere except Google.

Also, energy use: 10x as much as a Google search https://www.rwdigital.ca/blog/how-much-energy-do-google-sear... .
It's not that signifigant if you compare the average person's energy use from internet searches, versus something like air conditioning
Saying it's no problem to increase energy use 10x as long as something else uses more is not really a compelling argument. Especially when there are decent replacements to save the 10x item.
If I made a 10x less energy use AC I'd be a billionaire; comparing to one of the most costly energy uses that has no simple replacement is not a good metric.

#336OpenAI also provides a Chrome Extension ( https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/chatgpt-search/ejcf... ) to trigger a search from the omnibar as the default search engine. If you don't like that (like I do), you can also manually add it under Site Search using https://chatgpt.com/?q=%s&hints=search
nice thank you. I just added that as a custom search to alfred (on mac). Works well!
Re: ChatGPT Search
#337ok, so you now have to type "What's the weather in Positano?", because typing "Positano weather" into Google was too difficult.

> The concern I have with LLMs replacing search is that once it starts being monetized with ads or propaganda, it's going to be very dangerous. Not to mention that users consuming most content through a middle-man completely breaks most publishers business models. Traditional search is a mutually beneficial arrangement, but LLM search is parasitic. Expect to see a lot more technical countermeasures and/or lawsuits ag…
Yes, I also don't understand how LLM based compaines expect people to keep producing contect for them for free.
Re: ChatGPT Search
#339I'm a little confused: I've searched the web with ChatGPT before. How is this different?
It's not that different, Google's Gemini already provides this functionality where they have source/links in their responses...
Re: ChatGPT Search
#340It's great we chose LLMs for this. You know, a model that is completely accurate and has no hallucination problems whatsoever.
