Also just because you have used AI doesn't mean its overly useful. Gone to ChatGPT multiple times to try getting information that Google now is too shit to provide, and ChatGPT ends up providing some stupid response that is clearly wrong.
Occasionally used ChatGPT to find a website to use as an actual source, but now those sources are also AI written bullshit that is clearly wrong. Which is increasingly concerning because while I know some things are wrong, I don't know everything. How many other things that it points to are wrong? Its not too bad if you are able to verify it through non LLM sources, but what if you can't?
It's the newspaper (news site or app now) problem. You read the news from your venue of choice, taking it all in, sorting out how you feel about it, maybe pick a side on an issue. Then you turn the page and there it is. An article about your career field in A.
Wow, you might think, they got this so wrong. They clearly have no understanding of A. You might even get angry about it.
And then you read the next article.
