Something from work I noticed today that will unfortunately become the norm.

If you gibbity an answer, you're regarded as smarter than someone who searched it. The funny part is I've actually given it a try, and it's wrong so often that it actually wastes my time. And, if it's right and I don't agree, I can say it's wrong, and with a 98% confidence level it changes the answer.

Side note, this is exactly why the fascist tech bros are pushing hard to shove this tech down our throats.

What definition did you find? I could only find it meaning either bullshit or acting foolish, neither of which make sense in op's post. Based on context I'd assume it's basically "to google" using ai but I can't find anything to back that up.

I read it as them treating the initialism "GPT" as an acronym, resulting in "gibbity". I once a YouTuber refer to ChatGPT as "Mr. jip-uh-tee" and I think this is the same idea. I think your definition of "researching using AI" is right, they're just saying it in a joking way.

This is right.

That actually makes sense, thanks!

I initially thought OP meant to google too, but that didn’t track for me. Ultimately bullshitting makes sense in this context (thanks urban dictionary), since they compare someone who gibbities to someone who searches.

Either way it’s ridiculous slang to me, but I’m clearly the wrong generation for it, so I’m glad to know I wasn’t the only one confused.

I'm clearly the wrong generation too haha, because this still makes no sense:

If you ~~gibbity~~ bullshit an answer, you're regarded as smarter than someone who searched it. The funny part is I've actually given ~~it~~ bullshitting a try, and ~~it's~~ bullshitting is wrong so often that ~~it~~ bullshitting actually wastes my time. And, if ~~it's~~ bullshit is right and I don't agree, I can say it's wrong, and with a 98% confidence level it changes the answer.

I used to be with ‘it’, but then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’ anymore and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary.

I way overused "it", my bad there !

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Haha but what does it mean?? Is it using ai to search?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Yes
