    Good for you buddy.

    Edit: sorry that was harsh. I’m just dealing with “every comment is a contrarian comment” day.

    Sure, GPT is good at basic search functionality for obvious things, but why choose that when there are infinitely better and more reliable sources of information?

    There’s a false sense of security couple to a notion of “asking” an entity.

    Why not engage in a community that can support answers? I’ve found the Linux community (in general) to be really supportive and asking questions is one way of becoming part of that community.

    The forums of the older internet were great at this… Creating community out of commonality. Plus, they were largely self correcting I’m a way in which LLMs are not.

    So not only are folk being fed gibberish, it is robbing them of the potential to connect with similar humans.

    And sure, it works for some cases, but they seem to be suboptimal, infrequent or very basic.

    I can’t imagine my experience wold have been better online. The third year was almost all lab work and practical.

    But aside from that, one of the best things about my offline experience was getting to spend time with people from other disciplines and honestly, some 20-odd years later, that has been almost as valuable as my degree in my career as well as my understanding of the world.
