I actually agree. Others use chatgpt for just about everything. I dont like it for many...many reasons.

Google was much better pre-2020.

Google was best in the 2000s, but things were different back then. They were still a young company trying to improve the world, SEO spam wasn't really a thing yet, there were far fewer websites, and most online discussions were archived and searchable (compared to today where there's platforms like Discord that aren't indexable in search engines at all).

People use chat gpt to tell them what to buy. We are doomed. Our brains are about to shrink to the size of a pea in 10 years. All is going to plan for the elite.

Its funny because you can totally run good LLMs on local systems but people are just going to chat because its what they know and its easy to work with. Like I get it, but they are starting to put ads in the prompts now.
