Phrasing and content are quite different, even if the points end up being the almost the same.
This post "feels" a great deal more relatable, I don't think AI applies, or at least, I'm not familiar with the issue you are outlining.
As can be seen in some other replies here, and in some other threads, some have taken to using AI in the sense of ChatGPT to aid in finding/researching/summarizing info, hence my mention of it in my thread.
Appreciate the feedback btw, I was in a drier headspace with my questioning a couple days ago, so it does read more detached.
The problem with that is that you need to know enough about the subject to know when it's just making shit up to sound clever. If you don't, and you just believe everything it says, you're going to be teaching yourself bollocks.
Absolutely, that's why in my thread I was specifically asking how to go about researching online given search engine commercialization/"optimization" and AI "hallucinations".
In a funny twist, my question may have been better suited to this community, given its specificity, and OP's question may have been better suited to asklemmy with its more relaxed phrasing. In any event, it's been reassuring to see that others are muddling through similar problems lately and trying to rethink how we approach navigating the web.
