Fuck AI

I actually did use "factoid" correctly here. According to the Cambridge dictionary the Definition is

an interesting piece of information

And that's exactly what I use it for. I'm not talking about debating economic policy on national television (but tbf, the ai summary probably does a better job than the talking heads haha) but just stupid little things you """debate""" with your friends.

Some examples Ive used it for recently.

"Were the cars in mad max real cars" and heres the response

Yes, the vehicles in the Mad Max films, especially Fury Road, are based on real, modified cars, rather than CGI or camera effects, with over 150 real cars used in the filming of Fury Road. Here's a more detailed look

And then it had some details about some of the big cars. And then it linked to articles like this one or this one

Or "how much does a da Vinci (surgery robot) cost?", and heres it's answer:

The cost of a da Vinci surgical robot typically ranges from $1.5 million to $2.5 million.

And then had some details of different models of da Vinci machines. But it also linked to this source and this source

And those are just two of the recent searches I have in my search history. For stupid factoids like that it's really great. For anything more nuanced or complicated than that it falls apart.

And yeah it has incorrect information sometimes. But you know what else gets incorrect information? Me when I drunkenly skim the first article that pops up while my friends drunkenly yell over each other. So id say it washes out.
