People always misuse searchengines by writing the whole questions as a search…

With ai they still can do that and get, i think in their optinion, a better result

    They get an answer but unlike a search engine, the AI doesn’t show its work. I want a citation with the answer, I’m not taking your word for it!

      Eh? You can ask it to provide sources and it will. Or at least Google AI in the search box does it by default

      There’s lots of things wrong with AI, but that’s actually not one of them much of the time.

        Oh interesting. It should do this by default then.

        Defaults matter. They normalize patterns of behaviour. People who are normalized not to care about citations are being trained to blindly accept whatever they’re told. That’s a recipe for an unthinking, obedient, submissive society.

            Oh this has been going on for centuries. Technology is always changing and so is culture! I think it’s usually the case that technology changes first and culture takes a while to catch up.

          Yes. And I find it interesting that every online AI I have encountered hides it’s work, while the open source locally hosted versions default to showing their work.

          I’m not sure I have a grasp on the various motivations in play, but it doesn’t feel nice that the ones available to the average user behave so differently.

        Yes and no. It sometimes kind of tries to extrapolate from lots of sources and just gives you a few of them that don’t really give an answer.
