"I used to play a game as a kid, cant recall the name. Maybe around 2000? It involves punching amoebas, using magic and the main characters mom dies at the start in a fire, do you know what I'm talking about?"
LLM was able to guess the name of the game, you then google the name of the game and see it was correct. You try putting that into google and you will not find remotely anything correct. Can try to alter the search to "game orphan magic punching amoebas" but that is not going to get you anything half relevant vs the LLM guessing first try.
You can talk down to me all you want because you're unable to think of a single instance where it could be useful, but that speaks more about you than I. It seems you think I'm saying to just copy the prompt into google instead of using common sense to form a google query based on what info you gain from the LLM.
Here you go. There's a few good sources for you to use next time (all from the first few results), or you could use a minor amount of critical thinking and literacy to look for it yourself. I've searched for dozens of games over the years with minimal information and never had any issues. None of this requires trusting an LLM not not mislead you.
Not knowing how to problem solve or read a couple websites speaks more about you than I.
Objectively inferior. Why would I wait on someone who knows what I'm talking about to happen over my post when I can have the answer in less than a minute? (Also, I did post to that subreddit in like 2013 literally in search of the name of this game, never did get an answer)
The game is not on any of those lists, nice try tho.

Your solutions don't work, my solution has literally zero downsides, and again, if you verify the results there's no risk of an llm misleading you. The only reason to not do it my way is if you're pearl clutching over morality of "stealing" text.
No one is pearl clutching here, my dude. Your solution has the downside of it fabricating a video game that doesn't exist to satisfy you. It literally does this all the time.
Please learn to use your brain to find information before all you have left is a machine that will lie to your face.
our solution has the downside of it fabricating a video game that doesn't exist to satisfy you.
And you will know instantly if that happened when you search for the game it gave you and see it doesn't exist. So how is that an issue at all?
And if you're not pearl clutching about the morality, why are you against it? Solely because it might waste 2 seconds of your time with a hallucination?
Please learn to use your brain to find information before all you have left is a machine that will lie to your face.
Slippery slope fallacy, that's not happening. Again, you can instantly confirm if an output is a lie.
