  • yea- tru…

    tool calls really do kindsa obfuscate what exactly is going on in a continuous-feeling system

    it makes one issue seem like the result of the main system, even if thads not rlli tru - - -

    me yappin bout how bad todays chatbot web-search is and how it could be inproved

    mygroarg im surprised how little current day chatgpt cn actulli do >v< like - web search!

    many peeps, includin my brothr, nevr rlli learned to google, n now jus calls chatgpt for litrlly almost anything.

    while its always bettr to do research urself, when i do decide ti hav a web search done by one of these bots - i feel like… the results shud be nicer?

    like - chatgot cud fir exampl, reference direct quotes from the sources, which r then checked against the actual sources, n then theres an if statement

    • if the text does appear in the sources, show a lil ui element called “From the Source”, where it shows the quote amd source link, so the user knows its legit
    • if it doesn appear, chatgpt messed up, n dis “quote” must be removed, or the entire response must be regenerated. Mayb even show a lil “Invalid Citation!” so users kno whats up -

    but noooo all these companies jus luv presentin their llms as perfect oracles

    but heyyyyy whadddoikno - im jus a sili lil consumer., - - -

    more yap

    mygosh i think like - waaaaayyyy too much bout dis kindsa scaffolding every day,…

    • they cnt replace a sofware dev - but they cn make simple-to-medium complex html demos with bad ux ~
    • they cnt generate novel ideas (lets ignore AlphaEvolve for now…), but its great at languag comprehension n categorisation

    llms r an importnt steppin stone tiwards what we wud call “ai” - but woarg current consumer facin systems r spectacularly meh n llms r bein overused in places they shoudn
