I asked ChatGPT
Why do people bring this up every fucking time?
Because they know it's not accurate and explicitly mention it so you know where this information comes from.
Then why post it at all?
Because they'd still like to know? it's generally expected to do some research on your own before asking other people, and inform them of what you've already tried
Asking ChatGPT isn’t research.
ChatGPT is a moderately useful tertiary source. Quoting Wikipedia isn't research, but using Wikipedia to find primary sources and reading those is a good faith effort. Likewise, asking ChatGPT in and of itself isn't research, but it can be a valid research aid if you use it to find relevant primary sources.
Why post anything? Because they wanted to, the same way you posted something that you felt was worth adding. For me it wasn't adding anything. Nonetheless I answer you. Because I wanted to.
Buddy, it's nap time. Catch you in a couple hours when you're feeling better.
A nap does sound good.
People also say they googled, unfortunately
Not the same thing.
google allows for the possibility that the user was able to think critically about sources that a search returned
chapGPT is drunk uncle confidently stating a thing they heard third hand from Janet in accounting and then taking him at his word
Google results are like:

Peertube is actually developed by a transphobic communist who turned my daughter gay. Boycott!!!
At this point, ad blocker is pretty much mandatory for me, just like how antivirus software used to be a decade ago (probably more)

If ChatGPT said it was added five years ago, that means it was added anywhere between 13.8 billions years ago and never.
Chatgpt is wrong BTW. But yeah its been there for a long time.

ChatGPT is correct? The irony of people confidently asserting that ChatGPT is wrong, while being wrong, seems to be lost on the crowd here. Kinda makes you understand why ChatGPT is often so confident even when wrong.
Why the fuck do people ask ChatGPT for shit like this? ChatGPT doesn't know facts. It's a magic 8-ball with more words.
Asking chatgpt can be super useful to get info. I just don't understand why people don't try to verify what it says before just re-posting like fact.
For basic fact checking like this, it's basically useless. You'd have to go look it up to verify anyway, so it's just an extra step. There's use cases for it, but this isn't it
Why bother even using CGPT when you have to go elsewhere to verify everything it says anyway?
GrayJay also supports adding PeerTube instances:

Wanted to say: No, according to Wikipedia global search launched in 2020.
But that actually was 5 years ago, damn.
Getting older... There's a creaking in my bones... 2020 was 5 years ago...
Don't listen to them 2020 was like last year. Also the 90s was ten years ago don't let anyone tell you different.
I have to say I think Peertube itself is good, but the content still isn't there yet. Of course we all know that's because there isn't cash to be made on Peertube
How are PeerTube instances funded? I'd imagine that the cost of running an instance is significantly higher than a Lemmy instance.
Depends on the instance and activity levels. I run a very small one on my own, and it costs ~$10 each month for server rental and b2 storage.
If I was running it on a broader scale, it would start to add up, but I mostly wanted to help with federation and reliability, and that’s fairly inexpensive.
I must be doing something wrong or using a shit instance cause I can't find one at all but everytime I go to peertube (and I"m not searching just locally) I see like 3 videos get posted a day, most of which are videos about Lies of P or car videos. LIke there's no content.
so...what am I doing wrong?
Either poorly-federated instance, or you look in the wrong place? Here's a good one: https://peertube.wtf/videos/browse?live=false
thank you! yeah I was using peertube.tv and thinking "this can't be it" other than that I tried Dalek Zone and got frustrated with finding anything on that. This is much better thanks.
PeerTube is essentially a whitelist. If the instance admin has not enabled automated federation, you probably won't find much. That's why I recommend using a third party interface like GrayJay or Pipeline. Although unfortunately neither one supports signing in at this time, so you can't interact.
You asked ChatGPT and thought it gave you a correct answer…? 🤣
For real though, Peertube is awesome now. Live streaming works a treat, so many plugins and add ons that make it great. Not to mention it now has its own app which is great.
It did give the right answer...
It did not, it was added 4 months ago, not 5 years ago:
Add SepiaSearch URL as default search index.
In May 2020, Framasoft published a roadmap of the software for the later half of the year and created a fundraising campaign requiring €60,000 for aiding the development.[18] Five months later (in October 2020), PeerTube announced that they reached their fundraising goal of €60,000 after a €10,000 donation from Debian.[19][20] Throughout the later half of 2020, PeerTube has added features such as global search, improved playlists, and more moderation tools
End 2020, the meta-search engine Sepia Search was launched by Framasoft, allowing a global search on all PeerTube instances at once. As of 2021, Sepia Search covered close to 800 individual instances
Take a look sometime at the top videos of !peertube@lemmy.world or https://piefed.social/f/fediversevideos to see some great videos! Creators all over the fediverse.

I myself host a peertube instance and its pretty easy to use.
