I know what you mean, but also don't know how it applies here. Not a hater, and not asking rhetorically to dunk on OpenAI. Just haven't found a use for this particular feature.

Which is also exactly something a bad-faith commenter would say, but if I lose either way, I'd rather just ask the question ¯\_(ツ)_/¯




You’re not doing a great job of not rhetorically dunking on OpenAI when you imply that it must be for children, elders, or people who can’t be arsed to search.

The comment was dripping with condescension towards the use of LLM search, and that’s coming from a huge OpenAI skeptic.


Ah fair.

Replacing "really for" with "more for e.g" would have been closer to the intended comment. I'll take that L.

Though if I can clarify: "can't be arsed to search" isn't a normative or judgemental claim against anyone, in the same way that "can't remember a phone number/directions" isn't. I'm speaking under the assumption there's a point between now and heat death where massaging search engine queries may literally not be as useful a 'skill' anymore. So there's less utility in young/old people taking the time to learn it.

But I can see how it sounds when I try to squeeze that into a shorter message.
