people are so brain damaged by LLMs

i just watched a german streamer who wanted to know the distribution of seats in the german parliament after the election ask chatgpt about it, notice that they gave the FDP 10% of the seats (they have 0), then ask ChatGPT for a correction, it admits the mistake and then gives the exact same results again, then he tries to do mental math to account for the obvious mistake while trusting the rest of the data

bro literally just look it up on a search engine or wahlrecht.de what is wrong with you

we should ban chatgpt like what the fuck people can't even use a search engine anymore, much less remember domain names or use their fucking brain

@lizzy it has it's uses. It's great for a quick first order guess, but it's so utterly surrounded by problems that i agree. As implemented, it ought to be banned.

They are lying to people about his well it works, and people are so utterly uncritical in their thinking. A recipe for exactly the kind of disaster 'they' want.

@spyro @lizzy for me, AI has been great to solve issues for me or at least direct me/make me think in a more guided way to fix my issues on my own. It's definitely been helpful.
