You can't ask questions like these on Google:
- "What was that videogame where it's like an RPG FPS where you're in space and there's aliens destroying the space station?
- "Hey what was that one movie where you had a girl fall in love with a schizophrenic man? It had a bad ending."
- "Uhh what's the one board game that's similar to Space Station 13 where you're on a station and everyone can influence any character on the board. I think there was like a monkey character and a rat character and then a bunch of boring characters like an engineer and stuff? It's like a mystery game where you guess who's who even though everyone can control everyone."
You could ask these kinds of questions on Reddit or some other mega-forum, but it's not a good use of anybody's time. And you'd have to go to specific forums, like the videogame forum, the movie forum, and the board game forum, to know the answer to. That's what I think ChatGPT is great at.
And of course you could ask these stupid kinds of questions for more academic domains. If you forget a chemical molecule you can ask open-ended questions to remember it. Or if you forgot a programming design pattern ChatGPT can guide you back to it. Yeah it's definitely flawed, but asking a human being would be equally as flawed, if not worse.
Interesting questions. These are very broad and astute questions that I too would reserve for an app like ChatGPT because Google can be limited and make mistakes, sometimes. Now with Reddit, every now and then you’ll get really lucky and run into a perspicacious gamer who can answer all your video game-related questions or whatever it is you’d like to know. At the end of the day, I’d fact check both responses to see which one logically makes more sense compared to the other one.

I've played with AI for content generation for fun, never posting any of it anywhere, and it is a bit alarming how good it can be if you know how to use it right and which ones are good. The good news, for people who hate AI, is that right now it is impossible to get exactly what you want from an AI, forcing a person to draw it themselves to get exactly what they want.
With apps like OpenAI developing Sora, I wouldn’t be surprised if AI content were to takeover in less than 5 years by 2030. I think what’s happened is that people have taken advantage of something that seemed obscure to non-tech guys, and just fell in love with it. Dude, the videos are just getting out of control, right now. I see way too many AI-generated people pop up in YouTube videos that it’s just preposterous. AI actress, Tilly Norwood is preposterous because it looks too much like a real person.
At first I thought they really need to chill out with this stuff because it’s getting out of hand. But then a lightbulb went off in my head with dollar signs hovering around it, which made me think that I could do this too. With AI art content, I’m not a fan of it either, but if there’s money to be made then I’ll do it rather than paying someone else to do it. Yeah it’s taking shortcuts, but it saves time and money, and it has an aesthetic appeal to a certain type of audience.
