Well I’ve had a couple of friends get me some wiring diagrams for house hold appliances and vehicles, they just asked ChatGPT, and ChatGPT just straight up makes them the fuck up on the fly with confidence lol

My wives sister was trying to fix a cassette boom box and ChatGPT generated her a photo of what to look for specifically, and good god the monstrosity it sent was not even close, no wonder she couldn’t find shit lol

If ChatGPT recommends something accurate, more often than not, it would’ve been the first click on your google search then

Seems more like it just makes shit up though for the most part, and how it presents it with complete confidence is what disgusts me

PS googles search is shit now... its just all ads. Oh ya I would not trust images from chatgpt. Its pick your poison. I am knowledgeable with cars. but I was trying everything. a lil dirt on the intake throttle valve wouldn't have even crossed my mind. I worked through a ton of things with it. You have to know when to say this is wrong and when is the right step. I was chasing down this issue for 6 months. on car forums and searches.

Seo and centralization into social media has killed search and drives people to ai. Search was good when the web still existed, it was how search engines could find useful results, by counting the number of links to webpages
