“Hey, Reddit AI: When does the Narwhal bacon?”
“The narwhal bacons at 3 in the afternoon.”
Fixing the search up would be a better use of their time.
That doesn’t have the works “AI” in it which means stocks don’t go up :(
Just burning through compute credits to find the answer to why do my balls smell when I wake up in the morning.
AI is simply not a good way to answer questions.
I cannot wait to see how long it takes for this to backfire in a spectacularly high profile and entirely predictable manner.
Can’t wait to see the recommendations about glue on pizza
More seriously, this might trigger another migration wave to Lemmy
I can’t wait to see all the screenshots of the ai hallucinations.
No it won’t lol.
I’m as pro-Lemmy as the next Lemming, and even I know this isn’t enough to move the needle.
Following in Quora’s footsteps of enshittification
The userbase is exactly like Twitter.
Quora is sooo bad, the sign in or you can’t view the page is on an another level of hell.
Soybot, my strength is waning
“it’s like reddit search but AI!”
To be fair there’s no possible way they could downgrade from the old version.
You’d be surprised. At least it gave you more or less relevant results based on keywords, and it gave you proper comments. Now there’s no telling when it will just make shit up or wholly misinterpret the stuff it links to, like those LLMs all end up doing.
I never once got a useful result from their search. It was the worst thing I’ve ever seen.
Eh, maybe, I just ignored the feature for the most part. I’d just rather not find something than being fed bullshit by an AI. Search engines are a thing, too.
As if being bot and astroturf infested wasnt bad enough now “search” is actually going to be Reddit spoonfeeding whatever sanitised corporate sponsored crap it feels like
Lol no thank you
Who fucking cares. The real people abandoned that app long ago.

I was try to work out a bug in some software. Searched DDG and found the exact question I had, posted 4 years ago. With 5 replies each saying I have the same problem did you ever fix it, the latest being days ago.
Ew, no.
How can I get this to run all queries on my Amazon echos? Whatever I can do to fill my house with the most useless chaos
Your house will never be full of useless chaos until I’ve ridden a horse through it.
Name one useless part of that. Joy is not useless
“Condescending idiocy is bad enough, but how do we make it even worse? I know - we’ll shoehorn in that newfangled AI that everybody loves so much! I’m a genius!”
Suck my dick.
