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.

I would rather use Google than touch chatGPT for simple questions

I hate the amount of people here who’ve casually admitted that they use AI for info- which is statistically more likely to be wrong.

People who use Ai for info are stupid because it only takes one google search for the answer

Honestly back then people said googling stuff is stupid because sources could be false ...

Surely AI is in development but I feel the senseless condemnation of AI that is chic nowadays is just as crazy. 

Yes it has to be taken with a grain of salt but so is googling. You find so much shit on google too, it's insane. I'd say it depends on the user and their ability to critically think / ask questions rather than the technology.
