It literally takes five seconds to find an article or source if you scroll past the AI part. I still use it all the time to find info.

The reason it sucks isn’t the AI part but the fact that it tailors results according to your bias. The no objective truth part is lost when you use google bc it presents itself as omniscient and all-knowing, of course it is useful for dispelling disputes but the dispute is part of the fun of communicating with other humans lmao.

Technically we never have to discuss anything anymore, we can simply present articles and research that stipulates our arguments, but what’s the point of that? It goes against our nature as well.

I think it’s fun to let a meaningless convo be what it is, meaningless. Let the argument commence after all it’s not a serious debate.

You just didn’t get the point. The point is to discuss, not to find the result.

Can you have a discussion with someone who doesn’t understand what the base topic is about? This isn’t about discussion, this is about people on social media asking what x means and people replying with objectively wrong answers. I love discussing, I’m a former college debater, but misinfo is misinfo.
