I broke the head off one of the brake caliper bolts on my kid's Mazda, and the Mazda dealer didn't have one. Faggot Gemini told me the Toyota caliper bolt is identical, so I bought one of those, but it's 3 millimeters longer, so screws all the way in until it hits the rotor. And of course Gemini just says they're identical because some Redditor once said they are.
Anyway, it's all fucking shit, and will never be used for actual engineering or anything involving financial transactions.

I used a system as an unverified oracle in a domain where correctness depends on exact part specs so therefore AI will never ever be used for anything important (despite the fact that it already is).

I'm not saying you "should" use it for anything. personally I find it most useful for exploring ideas, evaluating and improving argumentation, etc. I never use it to write anything because I hate the "AI voice" but I'll show it things I've written and ask it to find counterexamples and stuff like that. and I use it for general advice that doesn't require specialized knowledge - the kind of thing where a synthesis of what other people have written is actually exactly what I'm looking for.
when I use it for random questions that do involve specific knowledge - I call it a "better Google" - I ALWAYS check its work by clicking the sources it provides. I'm not sure if you've ever heard the term "hallucination" because it seems like your knowledge of AI is about where everyone else was in late 2022/early 2023, but it's a phenomenon that literally everyone else knows about where sometimes AI just completely imagines things. it just pulls facts out of thin air. however, all of the chatbots almost always provide sources, and when they don't, you can ask for them. sometimes it turns out that it parsed/interpreted a page wrong and gave incorrect info, but the correct answer is in a link it provides. so asking a chatbot is still better and faster than googling something, especially with how corrupt/P2P/gamed the Google rankings are now. its process for finding the info is way better than just clicking through the top Google results. can't speak to the other search engines; maybe there are some good indie ones that return better results. but you don't seem like the type to use a non-mainstream search engine.

right, because chatbots = all AI. and personal use of commercial chatbots at home = use of AI in larger projects. and MY personal use of commercial chatbots at home = everything anyone can do with AI.

I figure that anyone who can't spell the word "pigeon" is mostly likely pretty stupid about everything. In the same way, I don't try to decipher my dog's barks.

It’s just running out of good training data (in other words, the internet never really had anywhere close to the full body of used knowledge on it). I used 2 chatbots to help me pick an arbitrator in a city I had zero connections in, and I’ve been getting mercilessly mocked as a retard ever since. The case has gone from close to slam dunk for us to close to slam dunk against because of how shitty the choice was. (To be fair, my shitty classmate in the city signed off on the shitty choice.)
Why are you using AI and trusting it enough to make purchases if it's so useless? It seems like you are getting a lot of use out of it but just makes threads when it fucks ip like a MAF boomer using Google on 2003.

Have you heard of the enshitification of Google?
I assume you're young, but if you had been using it at the time, you'd know that 2003 Google results were >>>>> Google 2026 results. (Around 2017 they changed their search to maximize ad displays and sponsored results)

if you can't recognize the significance of its coding alone (after just three years of commercial existence mind you) then you really just want to believe ai is and will forever be unimportant. should reflect on this whenever you make future ai posts.

I agreee with OP and if youre not siloing youre own data to make your own LLM/ML system to run exclusievely off what you feed it than its really gay
Having said that, Gemini is surprisiginly good at compiling and putting together Sod level analysis of Torah Aliyahs and their metaphysical and gematria breakdowns - most likely since the framework of an LLM is probably Talmudic in nature
