I just find the deference to chatbots a bit sad in that it will cause people to be less curious. Guess this is how people felt about moving from an abacus or slide rulers to calculators, but it gets used for such menial bullshit that can easily be looked up instead of asking the virtual eqvivalent of Dave at the pub.
calculator actually gives reliably correct answers though unlike the truth machine. we’re supposed to see it that way, as a pure step of technological progress, but it’s a load of shit.
