I Don't Need the Answer Right Away. I'm Not Gonna Leave That.

Marcus: I would not use it in Outlook or anything like that. And also, I don't think I would use it for researching purposes either. Part of the fun of researching things isn't just getting the answer right away. Marcus says he doesn't know how well people's research skills are as a whole.

Speaker 2
Then next time all flights are grounded. Yeah.
Speaker 1
We can get like a good end to hot sumay mikko Marcus on the pod. You get various versions of me as I'm stuck in various cities around the country. IQ 50 Marcus IQ 50 e-girl Marcus. Now I will not take trivia break. All right, trivia.
Speaker 2
We will add them to an answer. Sorry, I'm not gonna leave that. I will never leave that amount. All right, thank you.
Speaker 4
So no, I would not use it in Outlook or anything like that. And also, I don't think I would use it for researching purposes either, because part of the fun of researching things isn't just getting the answer right away. It's learning all of the other things. Like had we put into chat GPT, how the domain name system works, we would not have found out about the seven keys to the internet. So like
Speaker 1
those moments. You rely on us. I think you could, you can sort of bend it a little bit. You can kind of be like, explain blah, blah, blah.
Speaker 4
But I wouldn't have known to ask that in the first place. Interesting. It would have just told me
Speaker 1
how something works. Yeah, but we also didn't ask about the seven keys of the internet.
Speaker 4
We just stumbled upon it because we were researching. Right, yeah. That is, I don't need the answer right away. I want to like find my way
Speaker 1
there. But it could give you an answer that could give you like a little breadcrumb of something that you could then go and look more
Speaker 4
into. Yeah, but that's like the same with Google. It's the same thing. So like why would I use that over the other one?
Speaker 1
I will say that like, and I don't even know how well people, like what research skills people have in general, probably fairly low, because people just want the answer to things. But it does seem like a kind of terrible world if people just ask questions, get fed an answer, and immediately run with that answer as
Speaker 2
like their gossip.
