Just heard this today - co worker used an LLM to find him some shoes that fit. Basically prompted it to find specific shoes that fit wider/narrower feet and it just scraped reviews and told him what to get. I guess it worked perfectly for him.
I hate this sort of thing - however this is why normies love LLM’s. It’s going to be the new way every single person uses the internet. Hell, on a new win 11 install the first thing that comes up is copilot saying “hey use me i’m better than google!!”
Frustrating.
my friend recently told me she was frustrated that it didn’t find underground burning man type things in brooklyn that are kid friendly….
i can’t get her to understand how stupid it is to expect that to work.
i once tried to use it to find dog beaches in california and it sucked at that too (because a different friend wanted to).
i think it might be worse at finding real life practical things than anything else.
