    How can I possibly be doing it wrong when the page it’s citing mentions nothing of what it’s taking about, or when it tells me to do something that we as a company do not do?

    I’ve been doing this shit for 20 years now.

    Welcome to the club.

    it’s an extremely useful tool

    Sure, for writing letters but not for searching which is what I’m taking about.

      Because I go to the fucking cited page, I don’t rely on the LLM to give me the answer. It’s not different to using Wikipedia.

      Writing letters is the worst use for it, it’s not good for creative works.

        I don’t rely on the LLM to give me the answer.

        So why are you assuming that I do, again? Aren’t I the one telling you that I do manual searches precisely because the search function is so hit or miss?

        it’s not good for creative works.

        What creative work? This is basic communication that we carefully outline first and then feed it to the LLM to spit out the same thing in formal language. Lol
