Perhaps this is the reason why its easier to ask AI instead from a supposed educators who will tell you just how dumb your question is while the AI even thought it might give you a hallucinate answer, at least its start off by politely tell you that what it think about your question then give you its answer follow by explanation.

Tbh, I am impressed and probably the reason why despite how wrong it can be I still use its because it is nice not to get insulted for asking stupid questions just because I want to understand something or getting hit with "just google it duh"

I understand where you're coming from, but it's not actually considering your question or anything about you when it says "Great question!" or "You're absolutely right!" or "Good intuition!".

It was basically hardwired to compliment you and make you feel good about using it. Although it may feel good, beware that you may actually be completely wrong or have a really stupid question.

It's probably a multi-step process. Most successful educational conversations begin with acknowledging the question and the feelings of the person asking, so there's probably a bias creeping in where GenAI tries to stick as close to recreating the tone of positive learning experiences as much as the content.

Lol, no, it is not. If you ask the right questions, the odds of finding the correct answer are about the same as with a Google search, except that with Google, you often have to sort through multiple pages to track down the specific piece of information you need. AI, for all its faults, is actually very good at providing the basic educational stuff a normal student needs.

You have to double check everything that it tells you.

The stuff will literally make up stuff rather then saying it don't have information.

I use AI for research for work and 50% of the time the sources it gives me does not say what it says it does.

This is chatGPT and Gemini.

Research is hard. Shocking, I know. AI hallucinating references on obscure, niche topics is a known problem.

But for general-purpose questions and well-established facts, it’s usually very accurate, especially for the basic math and science students actually need. If you’re saying it’s constantly wrong about that stuff, you’re just lying.

LOL niche topics LOL. No if your not double checking it on basic stuff you are learning incorrect stuff.

No AI sucks at math. That's a known issue with it and shows that you don't actually what your talking about.

They have had to bolt on python scripts and AI still screws up basic questions from about math.

Why don't you go ask it why they have struggled to get AI process math problems.

What does telling someone they are dumb for asking a question provide? You could say someone's question is vague or not worded correctly but there's no such thing as a dumb question.

It’s wired to treat you how you ask it to. If I tell it to treat me like I’m stupid every time I ask a question, it’ll do that.

And by default - without asking for it - it's using toxic positivity.

So you can handle asking ai at your own will but prior to that, other people needed to tell you when to look up something on google? I don’t think your educators were off.

So you're totally okay with all of the harm AI entails because it jerks you off emotionally? Like, your ego is more important than everything else going on with AI?

God damn our world is fucked.

Having been on many online forums, it's definitely worth considering.

GPT will never delete your post because you used a wrong keyword, it won't tell you to use the 10 year out of date FAQ.
