Google AI is such an efficient tool for solving literally any problem or finding an answer to literally any question that, despite knowing it’s flaws, namely not being able to differentiate between reliable sources and someone posting nonsense, I found myself defaulting to it recently. I’m a history buff, I used to spend long hours pooring over articles and obscure papers to find out some random information. Now, I can just ask AI. I’m frankly creeped out how quickly it took over my whole process, simply because it’s about 1000 times more efficient than I can ever be. When I was researching something, I had to spend hours and hours looking up information, and I couldn’t know if whatever I was reading had any relevant information. Sometimes there might be only one tangentially relevant sentence in the entire huge article. My biggest worry is that often times I can’t find the same information AI found. I google some random idea like “How much impact would a single MG42 have in Battle of Hastings” and maybe I find some reddit post from someone 12 years ago asking something similar (only they are asking about a modern machine gun in Battle of Waterloo), maybe with only one reply telling the OP to get a life. Pose the same question to the AI and it’s going to come up with exact figures and casualty rates, and explain how each army could position the MG to have the maximum effect. It’s creepy, I have no way of double checking what it’s saying because the idea is literally so random. But I find myself going back to it over and over just because it’s so efficient at answering my random ideas. submitted by /u/Outrageous-Thing3957
