strobe999 | 3 years ago | on: ChatGPT Is Dumber Than You Think
Traditional internet search engines are biased towards the truth. Search for lies on any given topic and you will find a page telling you about the real truth. Rarely an obvious disclaimer about truthfulness or accuracy of the content.
This language model on the other hand seems doesn't even claim to know the truth. Without asking, it will go out of its way to tell you that it might be wrong for an arsenal of reasons.
With such an ever-present caveat, humility, ChatGPT is what I would call human friendly and what google & co should've been. A search engine acting in the inquirers best interests. Not only sharing knowledge but most importantly - perspective.
I am personally looking forward to a future where this and similar models are readily available to non-technocrats. I imagine using this instead of google for general knowledge would reduce radicalization on any axis and generally broaden empathy.

i am personally not in need of this term but think its an especially good fit in this specific context.
context being the defining factor, i would usually not appreciate explicitly reducing a person to their reproductive organs like this but in a discussion about reproduction it actually removes ideology from my point of view.

We tried several other apps and this one is worth every penny. Some of my favourite features: - Customize aisles - Auto stacking in shopping list - Clickable timers - Custom import from web - Well working scaling
Strongly recommending this app to anyone.
Sidenote: If available, use a portable scanner at the store. This reduces the amount of times you touch an item significantly, speeding up the experience.
Sidenote 2: To make auto stacking in the shopping list work the item name needs to be identical. We found that separating ingredient from processing works best. So 2 kg potatoes as ingredient and cutting in half in the directions instead of 2 kg of potateos cut in half as ingredient.
