so you never read the summary at the top of Google search results to get the answer because it provides the answer to most of my searches. "they don't improve my work experience" that's fair but perhaps you haven't really given it a try? "they don't improve the quality of my online interactions" but how do you know? LLMs are being used to create websites, generate logos, images, memes, art videos, stories - you've already been entertained by them and not even know it. "I don't think they improve the quality of the society I live in either" That's a feeling, not a fact.

I never do because I still don't trust its answers enough without also seeing a secondary source to confirm it and the first result or two is already correct 99% of the time and often also has source citations to tell me how that conclusion or information was made or gathered if im dealing with a potential edge case.

No.

Because I cannot trust it. (Especially when it gives no attributions).

I generally recognise utility of AI, but on this particular point, it has been a net negative if I were to add up the time I wasted by believing a summarised answer, got some length further on given task only to find that the answer was wrong and having to backtrack and redo all that work.

Unfortunately yes I do, because it is placed in a way to immediately hijack my attention

Most of the time it is just regurgitating the text of the first link anyways, so I don't think it saves a substantial amount of time or effort. I would genuinely turn it off if they let me

> That's a feeling, not a fact

So? I'm allowed to navigate my life by how I feel

If you find it annoying, why not configure a custom blocking rule in an adblocker to remove it?

[bluefirebrand]

Good suggestion, thanks. I might just do that

I've read some complete nonsense in those summaries. I use LLMs for other things but I don't find this application useful because I would need to trust it, and I don't.
