35-45 year olds just sitting here with our bookmarks, subscriptions and 100s of tabs open. We also are the last gen that builds and repairs our own devices. It's a generation thing, if there is a lazy way the youth will find it and embrace it.

I'm in that age bracket and one of my best friends, about a month ago, started using chatgpt instead of a search engine.

We went to dinner after work and the place was closed. I went back to my car to grab something and when I got back he was fiddling with his phone and frustrated. He said 'i'm trying to figure out (using chatgpt) if this other place is open.'. I just opened Google maps, it had the opening hours and I clicked directions and we were on our way.

Known this guy forever and I found it weird he would think that was better.

I've never used any LLM, so I can't comment on their quality, but at least around here the hours listed on Google (or any other large search engine) are frequently ... Shall we say, not based on reality.

You can submit corrections. Help the next person out

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Indeed, and so I should.

Unfortunately, I don't usually discover the hours are incorrect until I get to the location, at which point I often am too annoyed to remember to do my civic duty.

I will try to do better in the future.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

Understandable. I usually take a photo of the opening hours sign and submit later

If you're not submitting corrections often, sending the photo along as proof also helps to get it accepted

Fuck Google, support OpenStreetMaps instead.

I'm flabbergasted how people are not seeing the OpenAI stuff not just as not-that-useful, but very dangerous for privacy and open internet. And Google is trying to catch up, and they are still the biggest threat to privacy and open web.

Don't use either, every corporation will betray you.

Support open solutions.

agreed. but most people use gmaps.

Especially in regards to shop opening hours.

source: I actively update osm data, and regularly remove years old data from the system

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

I refuse to help corporations for free so they can reap the benefits.

They should pay people to update the hours. And people should look elsewhere for maps.

It's a temporary thing. People try out ChatGPT and it's amusing enough to try some more until you realize it's absolute dogshit.
