It does. Very commonly it will get acronyms wrong or assume I mean something else, even when it should be in my “ad profile” or whatever it bases it off.
Often I think the search engine is working perfectly then the LLM is ruining it in delivery.
There are other UIs besides chat
You (we) type in some words. 2-8 roughly. You hit enter. Are you saying that in the website results that are presented they are skewed by the LLM taking off to somewhere you aren't intending? Steering you off - like to a place they want you to go?
You say "ruining the delivery". I believe I understand. It is not traditional www text search.
I do have a problem with most chat ai's that always ask a question at the end of their answer. This is where configurability is more important to me than absolute performance. e.g. "don't end an answer with a question unless it is directly relevant to the current conversation.
Yes there are many other UIs besides chat. The default chat UI really bothered me at first. Seemed cheesy. However the majority of human interaction is "chat".
Something that is really really cool in this tech is the vision and audio and text models that naturally cluster similar things in massive multi-dimensional arrays. I have a hard time mapping nut~squirrel~food~imageofnut~dogsaspredators~whateves. How does that condense?
We have come so far on the audio transcription dimension. In this discussion context yes it is still chat but we've moved to a different place in the brain. Not radically different (humans without visual sight come to mind in how the process goes from photons to perception (also see hank green's vid on how the eyes are part of the brain)).
Anyway hope this isn't a throwaway account. That username doesn't inspire confidence in that regard.
What the hell am I doing?
