I used to do this a lot with google, but now that it's barely functioning at giving me correct results... Yeah I use chatgpt a lot. I'd love it if there was a functioning search engine instead, but there isn't

I'm genuinely curious, what do you find chatbots useful for?

[–] CommanderCloon@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Honestly I literally use it as a google replacement. Idk what happened with google but I just can't get anything useful out of it at all, and so I'll just ask ChatGPT to search online for stuff if google proves useless.

The only other use I like for it is learning new languages, as a developer it can help a lot, as long as it doesn't make shit up, which it does fairly regularly tbh

I use other browsers like duck duck go, ai feeds me missinfo quite often when I check on what it's saying

Use duck.ai instead of chatgpt. Not as good. But it is private.

I will back up that recommendation with Lumo, a privacy focused AI from the makers of Proton Mail.

The only way I use chatgpt now is A: on the tor browser and, B: with a darknet email. however the free and more anonymous stuff (such as Duck.ai) is not THAT far behind. They use older models, but as times passes they will get better.

I've found to be duck.ai ok. The reasoning model is sometimes ok for basic code and math

thank, I'll try it instead :)

You could use Perplexity. It is both: A search engine combined with a LLM.

That's how I use chatgpt tbh, "search online for..." and I get the results this way
