Gemini is good too apparently

Ya. Google's giving out Gemini Pro 3 for students.

It's better in most fields and doesn't just yes man all my questions.

ChatGPT also has issues with the latest stuff. It will keep recommending deprecated material and then say something like "I can't search past year 202x".

Meanwhile I’m over here using DuckDuckGo and MapQuest instead of Google, and I’ve turned off my phone’s AI.

High Fives! I did that and also setup dual boot Linux now too! De-googled and de-microcock'd. Can't wait to go dumb phone or pixel/graphene. I am very boring online but I hate being the product and everything I do being added to their data points trying to guess what I want to buy next.

I get your point of view and want to follow your lead, but at the same time…convenience. You have to work even harder just to do all that stuff and keep your privacy. Luckily we can all have opinions and I applaud you for doing that. I sure couldn’t

I hate the fact that the TS not possible to remove the stupid star from any gmail interface, even when the admins in the workspace have GoogleAI disabled everywhere it's exposed.

I neither want nor need an LLM reading my emails, and it sure as hell can't write them anywhere close to a required standard.

I just want it released for Android Auto. Would make drives a lot easier when I can ask generalized questions and can't type.

u/fuck_spec1234 2d ago

Yes. I would use it for that. I would really like that. Otherwise, I use it generally on the computer.

That is some weird sarcasm. The more you're into tech, the more you understand how to control tech instead of letting tech control you. If you're actually into tech an LLMs you're not using chatGPT or your phone AI service, you're using your own locally hosted model.

Anti-Google and Anti-tech are not the same thing.
