    Dunn acknowledges that he could have found the same answer with the right Google search terms, but says that the point is that he didn’t have to: ChatGPT immediately returned what he was looking for even though he described it vaguely.

    I remember when google used to return the right results even when the search was vague.

      Its so stupid, google “bipartie matching algorithm” and the second result is a stack overflow where the second answer is the Hungarian algorithm…

      So every programmer would have found that immediately using the traditional methodology…

      Right? I was thinking that exactly. I remember being in awe by how well google could do that, and now I actually dread having to use it and sift through all the crap.

      I guess the same will happen to “AI” once they try to monetize it with ads.
