And the real maddening part is that search engines have been so enshitfied to make way for AI that's wrong like 9/10, so you're forced to rely on it for answers because if you try google, the snake wraps around and eats it's own tail giving you an AI answer! stalin-stressed

Here comes a highly controversial opinion.

Let me preface this with I'm anti AI, I wish Iran kept its mouth shut about destroying open's big facility and just did it. Seeing tech bros get the French revolution treatment would bring a smile to my face. And I avoid using it at all as best I can.

But I hit a breaking point yesterday with a not very popular Metroidvania I got on humble bundle called "kingdom shell". Great game with glorious atmosphere, but some very poor pacing and a few confusing puzzles. I got through most of them but one of the puzzles had me pulling my non existent hair out.

I tried normal searches, found one fairly comprehensive guide that was no help in this part specifically. I asked Gemini and I'll be damned if it didn't actually come up with a good answer.

I know my sample size of n=1 does not a p value of ≤.05 and I'm not changing my mind about using it more now. But in my one very specific instance it was a little help.
