@CppGuy so it's not even a summary of the fictional character (i.e Jack Sparrow, Spock, Teal'c, …) it spewed out!

• So #DuckDuckGo #InstantAnswers would've at least pulled the #Wikipedia article instead.

@darkrat So it can't even regurgitate sample code based off existing documentation?

• That's worse than #DuckDuckGo's #InstantAnswers cuz they at least point at a #StackOverflow or the #documentation instead…

@mattblaze and that's why anyone who even mentions #AI gets kicked off premises by me.

• Cuz people on #LSD are way more respectful, less nosy and quieter than all the #LLM bs that is just #WastefulComputing and that are worse than #Cleverbot and #DuckDuckGo #InstantAnswers combined)...

@RaphaelWimmer it's called #DuckDuckGo #InstantAnswers, m8!

@Laukidh @0xabad1dea Exactly!

In the end, everyone from 1st level to instructor is just looking up #InstantAnswers on #ServerFault / #StackOverflow via #DuckDuckGo and/or reading #manpages and #documentation all the time.

• Being able to quickly find the correct solution out of the reliable sources is the most important skill, not the ability to memorize every small parameter of every CLI tool there is...

@danana_dread wtf?

See, this is why I only use @monocles / #monocles https://monocles.eu since even #DuckDuckGo #InstantAnswers nowadays is flooded with shit like that...

@Gegenwind was als "#KI" vermarktet wird ist bestenfalls eine Mischung aus #CleverBot, #InstantAnswers und 4chan-#Shitposts!

#WolframAlpha kann wenigstens Gleichungssysteme lösen!

@landley also most those "#LLM"s do is being a shitty version of #CleverBot with some #InstantAnswers from #DuckDuckGo and a way worse interface and options than #WolframAlpha.

I don't see how anyone thinks that's revolutionary, cuz actual #AI's like @Hoppel do exist but take years to train in realtime, since they learn not dissimilar from children...

@AuZL this ties in with most tests of #ChatGPT and #GithubCopilot:

Both do well in basic questions and boilerplate code and their answers are on-par to unrefined #DuckDuckGo #InstantAnswers from #StackOverflow...

They do work for well-documented (abeit hidden) features and code.

They only fall flat on their face when it comes to bleeding-edge stuff...

@anniethebruce found what you were looking for?

Also #DuckDuckGo has some clever #syntax stuff like shortcuts for sites/services and #InstantAnswers...

@rodhilton *nodds in agreement*

As much as one can criticize #duckDuckGo for a lot of their search results being bad [don't use them for anything re: #trans #healthcare cuz they'll vomit up #transmisogynist #hate #propaganda] they at least know how to make their #InstantAnswers work and spit out the correct result to something from #StackOverflow / #ServerFault 97,5% of the time...

@ashiisbest Yeah.

#DuckDuckGo's #InstantAnswers makes it easy to automagically find shit on it...

@nixCraft it's not #ShitpostingAsAService that killed #StackOverflow, but it's passive-agressive & elitist #TechBros that tend to delete/cancel questions by newcomers even if those ain't duplicates.

There's a reason I only search SO via #DuckDuckGo #InstantAnswers and don't post any question there:

Because it's a toxic cesspool in between #HackerNews and #WikiPedia where mods rant harder than anything @torvalds said re: nvidia (no offense m8, that rant is deserved!)...

@B_Whitewind Well, @fuchsiii tried stuff like #Github #Copilot and it can't do much beyond suggesting simple, single-digit liners you'd find on #StackOverflow via #DuckDuckGo's #InstantAnswers feature...
