@badrihippo please do CC me into whatever answer you find please :)
@Theorem_Poem my experience when telling people to choose a fedi server or xmpp server "please express yourself how you like" and people are just stunned by how does one do that more than in usernames but also in their server choices
@reece Google does have its limitations, but fuelling a few dozen students hitting google requires the computing power ... of a phone, and the reliability of the response can be determined from the website the data is from, if google leads me to "conspiracyhub.org" for my question, I know not to trust it. any LLM will require a small data centre for those requests, and will lie if I ask it leading questions, and will then lie if I choose to call it out in the same url.
@fugata I remember seeing this meme which was a trans fox in the morpheus pose with Estrogen pills captioned "everyone has a natural cup size, wouldnt you like to know yours"
just started keeping a ledger journal and hey maybe i can keep my finances in check?! (check back and ask me in a week why I am financially desolate, ill do a quick ledger -f main.ledger bal)
@reece @urbanmv personal experience, in my undergrad program while waiting for our written finals, I have now seen people heavily "looking up" and getting generation on basic facts like it is google itself, and studying with LLMs without ever fact checking once. My program at my college has some hundred students, this isnt really an unheard of experience from everyone else I have talked to, I dont think most people do know of the "limitations".
