Block ads and use a different search engine?
You repeated that twice, but it's demonstrably false. It does not. It feeds you completely wrong information randomly.
If you're going to fact check ChatGPT anyway, you're wasting more time than just doing the research yourself with good tools. But this is a false equivalency, because by doing the research yourself you start to learn good sources and exercise information synthesis, by using ChatGPT and fact checking it you're helping Sam Altman get richer.
Why the fuck are you defending google so hard lmao.
Google will absolutely put bad information front and center too.
And by using Google you make Google richer. In fact you get served far more ads using Google products than chatGPT.
What's your fucking point lmao.
Ah yes, when I said "use a different search engine" as a solution to Google having issues I'm certainly defending Google! What an endorsement right? "Use a completely different service" is free publicity for Google!
Other search engines are even worse than Google lmao. Brave consistently provide literally the worst results. Duck duck go same.
Are you actually serious.
Very serious, doctors surgically removed my ability to be silly. But on a different note, if you think every search engine ever gives worse results than ChatGPT, I'm afraid the heavy LLM usage already rotted parts of your brain. I'm sorry for the bad news.
I rolled my eyes so hard I sprained my optical nerve.
Oh no, now you have multiple issues with your nervous system!
