GPT is the new Google at least for me... yesterday at Thanksgiving a cousin wanted to play a game she brought. She taught us but forgot two rules that GPT knew (the Pit). I didnt have do a search, look through results or click thru various sites to find exactly the fringe info I sought about this game. GPT just provided the nitty gritty details immediately and when I needed to ask for another rule GPT retained what i searched for previously so i didnt have type a long query.
Google seems to be getting it's butt handed to them with the US government recent ruling and GPT's rise.
Im just hoping GPT releases their own AI Phone .. GPT Phone sounds cool to me. A Siri on iPhone that works like GPT won't be available til Spring 2026. GPT and maybe Microsoft have opportunity to take a chunk of the phone market.
Google was never meant to be a q&a platform, it’s just a simple way to get into business websites… ye if you need an assistant, ChatGPT and even Gemini (which I believe you have not played with yet) can give you what you need, OpenAI is still in red numbers and AI models like Claude or Gemini are stepping over it, if you need a great assistant in your phone get Gemini, they even have “Live (voice)” which is way better than any available assistant yet (available on Android or IPhone) if you need to go even deeper into the rabbit hole, get a pixel…
Google searching for the answer would've taken a lot longer ... i and everyone wants their answer immediately in front of them vs. the antiquated Google search riddled with ads compared to GPT's clean in your face instant results!
I want this experience from Siri (on my phone when I pick it up) now but Apple is too far behind so look forward to an AI Phone called GPT ;-) in the next 6 to 12 months ( hopefully OpenAI & Microsoft are smart are working on such). It would help kill both Google and Apple at the same time!
sure and i just asked GPT "What are the rules of the card game The Pit," and it listed them instantly. DDG i would have to a search, then click the link, scroll down/around and then squint to read their rules. GPT instantly shows them in a clean easier read. As a UX person less (steps & cleanier in this case) is always more.
yes it showed me all the rules even using "The Pit," which i didnt read through all to learn about the bull and the bear. Rather asked GPT a follow up question "what is the bull and the bear?"
"All the rules", including the variation about playing only using hand signals, like at a real trading pit back then?
My underlying point is you didn't learn the correct name, didn't read the full information you got the first time, and seem either incurious or blasé about proving a side-by-side comparison of the two information sources.
The second DDG hit is https://gamerules.com/rules/pit/ which is a summary of only the base game rules, without the bear and bull.
The third is https://www.boardgamecapital.com/pit-rules.htm which has different rules! The one claims bids can include '"Two wheat for one sugar!" or "Three corn for one soybean!"' but link #2 says 'They may not announce the suit that the cards are, but only the number of cards they are trying to get rid of.' matching the Hasbro rules that bids are only based on number, like '“Trade One! One! One!“'.
That third link is highly suspect as it mentions sugar and soybean as possible commodities while listing only 'Hay, Corn, Rye, Barley, Oats, Wheat and Flax'.
Probably your concern is what is the most accurate and correct info. As well Im blase on full details but that's human nature you ever play the telephone game ;-)
If you go and use GPT for this query you will see what rules it lists instantly and as a UX professional less steps/clicks/etc is more and usually wins the game. The rules it provided in a few seconds allowed me to quickly tell them and us to start a new game that we were able to finish to completion. Our first we were not trading 2 or 3 or 4 of the same commodity and had to stop.
I'm more highlighting that there isn't a single set of rules for Pit. The instructions have three different ways of playing.
You asked for "the rules" so GPT gave you some rules, fitting your preconceptions.
You asked about 'the Pit' and presumably didn't get from the answer that it's simply "Pit", suggesting again that it's fitting to your preconceptions.
I don't use GPT for several reasons, one being that every time I've seen GPT output on any non-trivial topic where I am competent enough to judge it, it's done a poor job, and the more so when you don't know enough to pose the question correctly.
For another example, at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39483825 I noted how ChatGPT's response used 'Sydney', matching the question posed, while the character's name is actually spelled 'Sidney'.
I don't like systems which re-enforce false preconceptions, no matter how nice the UX.
That’s because you’re comparing a search engine with an assistant… again go gemini.google.com that’s where you have your battle, the incredible thing is that responses are grounding with the entire google ecosystem (search, maps, workspace and even YouTube), that’s something you can’t easily get with ChatGPT…
Thanks yet no fan of Google (sorta loathe them after my experience being invited/meeting an R&D team of theirs.. Silicon Valley greedy rude pigs) and would be happy to see GPT release an AI Phone with Microsoft. GPT has brand awareness and a phone marketed as an AI Phone that has a new phone AI UX paradigm I think would do a lot of harm to both Apple and Google's smart phone dominance.
