A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

First, citation needed on these people who want AI. People on LinkedIn will hate to hear this, but I don't think the average user does.

Second, I don't understand your point. Do you actually believe the average user would feel compelled to switch to Firefox? Why? Instead, Mozilla is taking aim at their current users.

The average user uses llms like a search engine because search sucks rn

It sucks specifically because the megacorps want to make the AI look better than it is and because they want to keep people on search results pages...

The shittyness is a feature to these vultures.

Search sucks, so they're using LLMs?

That really explains a lot about the current state of the world, to be honest.
