Gonna go for some controversial ones.
AI (generative), around chatgpt 2 i was hearing a ton of hype and I thought no way this ever gets good enough to be useful. Now today I can say yeah its there, in my opinion its the best way to search for answers. Google got popular because people could search with human style in puts like "how long do I cook rice for" but now we have AI that eliminates the step of skimming through the results.
Crypto. The hype was that it would replace currency and while it hasnt done that it does actually provide a replacement for fiat currency. I can send a transaction to an internet friend and maintain all my privacy with no 3rd party being involved its great. Its stable enough to hold and its even been trending up over time. Pretty cool stuff, Monero is my preferred currency but I do use bitcoin for a ton of stuff.
It told me to put my hot tub temperature to 58C.
You, and your precious chatgpt are idiots.
You have to exercise some common sense and not just believe everything you read on the internet. I'm sorry that you burned yourself.
Testing that just now it recommends 37-40. So like I said, they're improving rapidly and they will be the best way to search for information.
Your clown college phoned and said you're out - too silly
Again, im sorry that you burned yourself after uncritically following instructions from a chatbot. Just like with search engines you cannot take the results as gospel.
Sometimes I use chatgpt for questions when I don't want to sift through garbage but I detest doing this. This only points out that search engines have got so shit they have to use other shit to get me decent results.
For crypto, mostly it's cryptobros tryna make a quick buck with only some people using Monero on the dark web. I do hope one day we can use Monero to purchase things though.
Yes there are cryptobros speculating on the currency but it doesnt change much IMO. You dont have to wait to buy things with crypto its already there in a lot of places.
