Now a days people refer to AI instantly for an answer. Maybe it’s a problem they could have solved within 10min in their head or a question they could have done an internet search on and read a few forums to figure out. However, now people go straight to AI which is known to give many many wrong answers.

I know a couple people that fit this bill and now I almost completely disregard what they say. We’ll even be talking face to face and they’ll ask AI something from our conversation in real time.

    Yes. A friend’s brother developed the habit to look up stuff during conversation when something is unclear. He uses voice for that, so you see him whisper to his phone all the time when you or others are speaking. Weirded me out.

      my older brother relies on AI, hes in TECH too, well laid off years ago. but almost 100% and he does that to with AI. even a simple search on reddit will give you a proper answer.

          this was way before AI became as as aggressive as now, it was the first round of layoffs in '23. he along with many other companies were laying people off in anticipation of AI, this was beofre AI usage was common.

      That’s maybe a weird way to go about it, but I don’t see an issue with fact-checking in real time. I’m aware many other people don’t like it, but I don’t give a shit. If it’s wrong, it’s wrong. However, the source musslt be trustworthy and ChatBOT is not.

        Sure, but he’s also talking (to ChatGPT) while others are talking. That weirds me out. Quickly pausing and looking up a fact is fine.
