    This is why I'm moving away from graphic design, and going back to drawing, painting, and carving with chainsaws (although arthritis makes the last one pretty taxing ;)).... I did just buy a bunch of canvases on Michaels black friday sale.

    you are asking it stupid questions

    it’s not a search engine like Google, but you are asking it questions like it is. The good news is, over time it will become one if you continue to ask it questions like these though..

    and if you tell it that you are interested in the Texas Longhorns, the very next time it will answer your question and refer directly to the Texas Longhorns. Hell it will give you daily updates on them if you asked it to



    In short: It tries to give you the answers you want, not the search the internet for information like a search engine. By presenting it with something as broad as “Texas football” it wasn’t sure what you wanted

    I don't know much about the industry, only what my son tells me, but pretty much all he has been doing the last year or more is writing "code", automating entire departments. The company he was with had older management in place that wasn't fully buying in so he went to a start up and they have a steady stream of clients lining up to throw money at them.

    Huh? Read it again. I put those words directly into Google - the search engine. Google prioritized AI responses, which were patently false when they addressed the topic at all. It does not allow a user to click a box in a Settings option to avoid AI responses.

    you absolutely can avoid the AI response. You simply scroll down

    Yes - definitely weird when you told me that when I Googled I was not using a search engine. Kind of weird also when I said there is no setting to avoid AI and you said I should scroll past it. Very weird that AI told me there were no NFL games yesterday.

    If you searched “what channel is the Alabama game on today?” You get this result in AI mode.

    Seems pretty straight forward if you search correctly. It’s not going to read your mind, sorry.

    There is
    no Alabama football game scheduled for today, Monday, December 1, 2025. The team's next game is the SEC Championship on Saturday, December 6, at 4 p.m. ET against Georgia, which will be broadcast on ABC.
    The team's most recent game was the Iron Bowl against Auburn on November 29, which Alabama won 27-20.

    They got one right this weekend. Yesterday alone they wrong about eleven games.

    Defend it all you like. My opinion that it is unreliable stands.

    It’s not unreliable for basic information like you were seeking if you use it responsibly. But you can die on that hill.

    You look like a dope that doesn’t know how to use a search engine and are trying to blame technology for your inability to use it correctly.
