Iwamoto , to technology in 👋 Have you stopped using Google much because of ChatGPT/Bing ?👀

I only use DDG to search for answers on the web.

At the moment, CGPT is mostly used for building me small scripts. i’m not a great programmer, but i do understand bash script most of the time. so often if i need something done i’ll just ask CGPT to build me something and i think it only made a mistake once.

Yeah choose one,

  • 12 websites written mostly by templates that are keyword-stuffed to sound like your question, and one might contain an answer in the 8th paragraph.
  • A response from a bot that’s unreliable, but extremely specific to your query.
BrooklynMan , to lemmy in Reminder to all: Be respectful when disagreeing.
@BrooklynMan@lemmy.ml avatar

I’ve encountered some people who are not so… respectful with disagreements. I’ve made use of the report feature, however, it doesn’t seem to be of much use.

you haven’t been entirely respectful in your disagreements either come on now

awooo , to technology in 👋 Have you stopped using Google much because of ChatGPT/Bing ?👀

Not really (I wasn’t using Google directly anyway), I think it fills a slightly different niche than search engines.

It’s good as a fuzzy search for the sum of public knowledge, since it can understand quite complex queries and point you in the right direction, then you can go to regular search engines to find more specific stuff.

Bing was fun to exploit, but I don’t really see why it’s useful, it tends to always look up information which means it provides less of its own knowledge, I can do the searches myself better than an LM. Maybe it can provide more concise answers than all the SEO crap everywhere, but that can be avoided by searching on specific websites like reddit.

They aren’t designed to be right, they’re designed to look like they’re right

spacedout , to technology in What the hell are Digital Humanities?
@spacedout@lemmy.ml avatar

It’s about methodology more than research questions, although they are of course linked. Incorporating digital methods in your humanities project, like GIS, 3D modeling or ABM, will quickly land you in digital humanities. Remember though, humanities have a lot of theory and methodology you might be unfamiliar with as a CS student, so teaming up with someone who has those skills but lack in programming etc. will synergize in this field.

scoobford , to literature in What are you reading? (June 2023)

The Murderbot Diaries.

I’ve been enjoying it, it has a surprising amount of heart for a series about an emotionally damaged not-robot.

@twolf@lemmy.ml avatar

No, but recently i’ve stopped using Google as well. Currently I mostly use Ecosia, I think their company philosophy is pretty cool and I like the results so far. I don’t think that ChatGPT works as a substitute for a search engine for my uses at least, as many of my searches require me to check multiple links and I don’t always type in the full natural language sentences necessary for ChatGPT.

hellfire103 , to asklemmy in Where's the feel of the old Internet gone, and what sites do you use?
@hellfire103@sopuli.xyz avatar

Have a look at Neocities (a successor to Geocities). My website is here.

You can also have a look at the rest of the Fediverse. There are some cool accounts on Mastodon and PeerTube.

For that true “old web” thing, have you ever heard of gemini? Take a look. My capsule on gemini is here, but you will need a gemini browser in order to see it.

Hope this helps!

calcifer ,

But does neocities have neopets?

fishy_2_0 , to literature in What are you reading? (June 2023)

Currently reading Hitch hikers guide to the galaxy really fun reads though it got weird in some places

nachtigall , to technology in What is your favourite 3rd party Lemmy client?

Jerboa on Android, Mlem on iOS (as they are both the only options for now)

Lowbird , to gaming in Game Pass - What's your favorite sleeper hit?

Ravenlok is dope. It’s easy, and button-mashy, but my god the visuals and music make up for all of it. It swept me away. I think it would be especially fantastic for kids, but definitely enjoyable for adults to.

Valheim is great in single-player, to my surprise.

I like Redfall. ducks But seriously, I do. I like the big open world, the over-the-top vampire thing, the feeling of finding the best way to sneak up on the enemy and take them down. The guns feel satisfying to me. I get excited every time I find a better one. I’m curious where the story is going. Some of the set pieces and environmental storytelling moments are really cool.

I haven’t encountered many bugs at all. One time some enemies appeared out of nowhere, but honestly that just fit in with the vibe of the game anyway.

The AI is dumb, but… I’m finding I don’t care. They’re numerous and still manage to kill me sometimes. I’m ignoring it entirely the same way I ignore it in the original Deus Ex.

It’s not a Dishonored or a Prey, but it’s not trying to be, either. It’s great if you just want to explore an interesting map and do some sneaking and shooting and looting.

I’m obviously the minority in this opinion, but also, it’s on gamepass, so it doesn’t cost anything to try if you haven’t. I almost didn’t because of the reviews and I’m very glad I gave it a chance anyway.

argv_minus_one , to technology in What do you think of foldable phones?

Meh.

Now, show me a phone with a good physical keyboard, like my old Droid 3 had, and then you’ve got my attention!

plungedtoilet ,

I think there was a phone called the Cosmo Communicator or something from a UK company that had a physical keyboard and a touchscreen that seemed cool.

Edit: Link: store.planetcom.co.uk/…/cosmo-communicator?varian…

SubArcticTundra ,

Ok this is sick. And for that price

flux ,

They also have a newer model Astro Slide, but it’s significantly more expensive and has availability problems. I’ve had one since Christmas or so, though, and I’m happy with it. CC is fine as well, and indeed the sale seems quite good.

(I used to have their first phone as well, but truly AS would have been a much better first device to bring to the market, there really aren’t any fundamental flaws in it in my view.)

SubArcticTundra ,

What do you think are the chances of them being around in 5 years time? I really want to get this as my next phone but for now I’m happy with my current phone (King Kong Mini 2)

flux ,

I guess currently it doesn’t seem that great, given they’ve been unable to fulfill their Indiegogo campaign due to manufacturing woes. I hadn’t realized how lucky I was to receive this unit :).

I do hope they’ll survive, though, because I want to keep seeing qwerty phones—and have some support for this one…

natebluehooves , to technology in 👋 Have you stopped using Google much because of ChatGPT/Bing ?👀

I wouldn’t personally use chatGPT ,or any language model for that matter, if factual information is the goal.

DDG has been my go-to recently, but mostly because I’m jaded with current year data harvesting and such. The internet feels like such a hassle these days .-.

Catweazle ,
@Catweazle@vivaldi.net avatar

@natebluehooves @dl007, to find what I search I use mostly these search engines with AI without BigBrother company spyware, is in these where AI is usefull because "de-hazzle" the internet with direct answers based on reliable resources, ChatGPT can't do this, it has a knowledge base from 2021 and can't give reliable and up-to-date answers because of this.

Icarus ,

perplexity is the best for code, it still hallucinates but way less than chatgpt.

Catweazle ,
@Catweazle@vivaldi.net avatar

@Icarus, special for codes is Phind, a AI search engine for devs

https://www.phind.com

None of the search engines is perfect, all of them have pros and flaws, because of this, if you need a deeper research it is inevitable to have several on hand.

jonah , to asklemmy in Can I transfer my account to a different instance?
@jonah@lemmy.one avatar

“The content” on all Lemmy instances is the same. There is no account migration, but you can just sign up on lemmy.ml. If you already had an account there and you want it back… I don’t know if it’s possible for an admin there to restore it, you might have to get in touch with them.

@bandario@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

This is really the core element people seem to be worried about. You build a community, you post a heap of content, you have charge of moderation and then suddenly your chosen instance dies, or you get banned.

I think there will eventually be a fix, but encourage everyone to remember that this, the biggest weakness of the platform is also its greatest strength. Personally I have created my communities on a different instance than the one I post on daily. It’s a larger instance and the only thing on that account are post submissions - I use lemmy.dbzer0 to browse and comment daily because I like its interface and local community the best.

It annoyed me at first, but I’ve learned to see the value in having separate yet interlinked spaces. I have also duplicated that community and some content on another instance. It has zero traffic, but I don’t trust anyone or anything these days.
