Anyone else experience this?
You run into a niche or weird issue. So you google “how to x”, “y not working on z” or “Error code: 123”; The 1st, 2nd, 3rd page are infected, probably 90% AI slop. Don’t have any luck even with the one blog post that was probably written by a human.
Now I have to go to YouTube. Look for a tutorial, 1st, 2nd, 3rd video all AI. AI voice, AI avatar, bot comments like “😍😍😍”.
Finally I reach a real video from a year or two ago that actually solved my issue. Took 4 hours when normally I could find it in 1 hour tops.
I have the problem of it giving me very vague answers. For example: I recently made the switch back to a Samsung from using Sony phones for years because they don’t want Americans using their phone, I am a little salty. Now I can’t find simple settings and customizations because they are turned off or hidden by default on Samsung. So I go to the Google and it’s basically telling me to find it in settings, an hour or so later that’s when I find out it’s turned off and I have to turn on the feature because AI sent me on a wild goose chase, only to find the answer on a darn AI generated YouTube video.
That was so frustrating and I think AI was just messing with me.
The other thing I discovered about AI is that the more the world changes, the less accurate it is. Seems obvious, but AI has almost no ability to tell between different software versions.
It hallucinates, and mixes together facts that shouldn’t be corolated but are technically related.
