Asking AI chatbots makes you look stupid so pick your poison.

I say, "I need to outsource my intelligence" or a variation thereof.

If you know where that's from, good for you.

Yeah, old enough to know better

You gotta Bing your yahoo until you Google all over yourself.

what if I am old, though?

I'm certainly old, but I've been trying for a year or 2 to stop using giant corporation names as verbs. "Google it" became "look it up" or "research it".

Yeah but do you sound old?

[–] SomGye@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 hours ago

Saying “just Startpage it” just doesn’t sound the same

Tell people to read a book

I'll have to Yahoo Search it, but I doubt it will know. Guess I'll have to Archie it.

(I do not recall archie (or any of the others) being used as verbs, though).
