If you like to learn things the internet is the best resource ever made. The internet is to books what books were to the spoken word. Washing machine hosed? Look on youtube, somebody surely has fixed it and recorded the procedure for you follow. Wanna learn electronics, programming or anything of a technical nature? Check out the tens of thousands of resources on the very exact thing you're looking for in volumes that you wouldn't be able to comb through in a lifetime. Need to ask a very specific question about the difference between an HC-05 and HC-06 module, get a concise (usually correct) answer from chatGPT. Want to share stories with people who have your specific variety of toe fungus, there's a subreddit or forum for that. The internet is loving amazing and we as a species are barely coming to terms with how to use it effectively. So yes, there is worth left.

Taima posted:Honestly Reddit ended up being one of the last bastions of actual real discussion and answers. I don't know if/when that will change due to bots but if I search on google I'm searching reddit 99% of the time. Yeah. It's stupid. Now whenever I google something, I add reddit to the search string if I want to get an actual answer.

Not just the Internet, but once reputable (lol) news corps that used to at least try and tell you what’s going on in the world instead of 99% of  news becoming links to Reddit posts and TikTok videos. “JUST 45 VIRAL TIKTOK PRODUCTS THAT WILL KEEP YOUR HOUSE CLEAN!” “Reddit user finds 1830s dildo and butt plug at flea market for $20. ‘I COULDN’T BELIEVE IT!’” “6 TIKTOK DANCES YOU CAN DO TO HELP RAISE AWARENESS FOR BEING AWARE OF AWARENESS” “Reddit user has Internet asking ‘am I the rear end in a top hat?’ for sticking 1830s dildo and butt plug up own rear end before having them appraised” Who. Gives. A. poo poo.

the internet isn’t a separate thing anymore, it’s a description of dozens of ways people communicate and share data using technology that is ever growing and evolving, as we and our societies grow and evolve. and no it’s all terrible

I think you need to stop confusing the internet with the world wide web. We need the internet in our modern daily lives - the world wide web, not so much.

Over the easter holidays I didn't know what time the grocery store opened so I went online and got the info and went to the store when it was open. It was extremely convenient

Wendigee posted:Remember when Google actually used to be an amazing search engine? Has google gotten worse because the company has made the site shittier or because other companies have figured out how to manipulate the algorithms to get their trash to the front of a search? I'm guessing a mix of both, but what's the ratio here.

They were wrong when they said anything you put online is there forever. Anything you put online is extremely temporary. A physical photograph of a picture on your computer screen is far far far more likely to survive long enough for an historian to look at it than the .jpg.

Actually if you really want to goatse future humans you should print it out, put it in a stone or copper/bronze box, and then bury it in a church cemetery.

If you want to learn or ask about anything that isn't a current event, you will get far better information by just asking ChatGPT than you would by spending hours poring over Google resultsColonel Cancer posted:Had me at usually correct answer from chatgpt lmao Depends what you're asking about. It's usually correct about many things, especially things that are well-documented, and if you know the right tricks you can sideload reference documents into it and have it provide answers derived directly from your documentation or from a published study or etc It's becoming more accurate than humans in an increasing number of fields deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 04:51 on Apr 22, 2023 |

Wendigee posted:Remember when Google actually used to be an amazing search engine? I was looking up a medical condition, hoping to get the bare facts on the condition from my country’s health service or other reputable source, and the first SIX results were sponsored results for paid treatment of the condition. In answer to the OP: Wikipedia, the web versions of some high-quality legacy media, I guess some blogs and webcomics. The internet is by and large poo poo though, and it’s going to be worse when (even more) of the content is AI-generated. We haven’t seen anything yet in terms of how bad it’s going to get.
