Gonna start saying I asked Jeeves

I like to keep this handy.

Well, I asked my neighbor whose sister-in-law told him she saw on tv that everything is going to be fine.

In their defense, it's dramatically better than asking ChatGPT and not citing their source.

Literally blocked someone here for doing that yesterday. It was like one of my dogs bringing me something dead and waiting for a reward.

but mirror neurons are only for perception of motor actions right?

Let Me Claude That For You

So much worse! Remember when search functions worked and related and reasonable results? queue "Those were the days" sorry

Indeed it seems to me even somewhat the opposite, because LMGTFY was a way to say, "uh, you know you can go look it up" LMLLMTFY says sometting like, "I don't know whether we can go look it up ... and I think you don't even know that much"

On the other hand, Claude told me today it couldn’t tell the time and I might be better off Googling that 🤷

I suppose, now that I'm thinking about it some more, I have had people at work tell me, "Here's what Copilot says" when I ask them a specific technical question. And then they paste the screencap of the answer to a different question than the one I asked.

I see it on Reddit a lot. Someone asks for a specific movie or book they can't remember the name of and the replies are littered with "I asked ChatGPT and it said *insert title that either doesn't exist or doesn't fit at all*'

oh totally

I respond by telling them I asked my guinea pigs, and that Alice said WHEEK WHEEK WHEEK but Gertrude got spooked and hid in the little house.

It is UNREAL when people I know do this to me. Just spit in my face, it would be less rude
