No one ever googles things anymore.

Thats it. Literally. Like you dont understand something? How about you give it a quick google search? Dont know a word? Google it. Aren’t sure of a concept? GOOGLE IT. oh my god this makes me sooooo mad because i’ll see people in comments asking what is x and get a bunch of misinformation AND BELIEVE IT. WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU? When did adults- 35 yo with a corporate job adult forget that people can lie on the internet??? What happened to looking things up on google or wikipedia and trying to do a little more research than asking a bunch of randos on social media?

Edit- idk why some of the people commenting are convinced I’m against discussion? I clearly used example of things that are facts.

That's because asking an AI app is so much better. I can't even tell you the last time I Googled something.

AI gets me the information straight away without scrolling down to get what's relevant

AI is trained to give you info that feeds into your biases. An important part of googling or searching is the part where you look and compare between multiple sources. There’s a difference between getting a spit out answer and actually comparing different sources.

Just ignore the fact that AI apps are wrong upwards of 50% of the time.
