Mozilla recently tried to integrate some AI stuff into its MDN. The corresponding Github issue is correctly titled “MDN can now automatically lie to people seeking technical information”.

Search engines like Google have cost many people there job; the list of now-rare positions and/or duties associated with a position (thereby thinning the need for such employment) that search engines have replaced is long.
Obilgatory reminder to actually read the manpage. They were written for a reason. If you can’t do that then either install a version of the “tldr” program like “tealdeer” or use
curl cheat.sh/I refuse to read manpages because I hate mansplaining and I wont have The Man tell me what to do.

I’m assuming they’ve blocked out chemistry from the training data. It’s crazy how easy it is to make many things from common chemicals, the liability would be insane.
liability… LOL
No they didn’t, gpt-3 was just spectacularly wrong
