It's hilarious I got the same results with Charlize Theron with the exact same movie, I guess we both don't know who actresses are apparently.

Everyone in this post is the annoying IT person who says "why don't you just run Linux?" to people who don't even fully understand what an OS is in the first place.

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Installing a whole new OS is not good comparison to browser. We all downloaded chrome using internet explorer at some point before.

You are included in my initial assertion

[–] Freshparsnip@lemm.ee 25 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

People Google questions like that? I would have looked up "Heat" in either Wikipedia or imdb and checked the cast list. Or gone to Jolie's Wikipedia or imdb pages to see if Heat is listed

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

doesn't matter, this is "AI" and it should know the difference from context. not to mention you can have gemini as an assistant, which is supposed to respond to natural language input. and it does this.

best thing about it is that it doesn't remember previous questions most of the time so after listening to your "assistant" being patronizing about the term "in heat" not applying to humans you can try to explain saying "dude I meant the movie heat", it will go "oh you mean the 1995 movie? of course... what do you want to know about it?"

[–] DeusUmbra@lemmy.world 12 points 13 hours ago

This is why no one can find anything on Google anymore, they don't know how to google shit.

[–] nickiam2@aussie.zone 73 points 1 day ago (6 children)

I think the trick here is to not use Google. The Wikipedia page for the movie heat is the first result on DuckDuckGo

[–] MajesticElevator@lemmy.zip 2 points 9 hours ago

I think the trick is to put the word "movie"

[–] zaphod@sopuli.xyz 22 points 1 day ago (3 children)

You can also search Wikipedia directly.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

if anyone's using ddg, you can do this by just adding !w for a direct Wikipedia search, or even !imdb for a direct imdb search without going to the respective sites first.

[–] Sixtyforce@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

PSA for Firefox/fork users, click the button to the left of the search bar after clicking blank space in the search bar, you'll get a list of choices besides just your primary selection. You can add more:

[–] BigPotato@lemmy.world 4 points 14 hours ago

Yeah, first part of any fresh Fox setup is changing the default search engine.

I use duck duck go as well. I wish it wasn't just anonymised Bing search. One of these days I'll look into an open source independent search engine.

[–] xx3rawr@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 hours ago

I haven't used Bing in a while but I alternate between Ecosia and DDG, supposedly Bing as their main provider. I find more and more differences between them nowadays so I do feel DuckDuckBot and Qwant partnership are doing their thing. I'm optimistic about both of them broadening their sources as they state in their websites.

How can she be fertile if her ovaries are removed?

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 41 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Because you're not getting an answer to a question, you're getting characters selected to appear like they statistically belong together given the context.

[–] howrar@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

A sentence saying she had her ovaries removed and that she is fertile don't statistically belong together, so you're not even getting that.

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago (4 children)

You think that because you understand the meaning of words. LLM AI doesn't. It uses math and math doesn't care that it's contradictory, it cares that the words individually usually came next in it's training data.

And the text even ends with a mention of her being in early menopause...

[–] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 119 points 1 day ago (14 children)

Why do people Google questions anyway? Just search "heat cast" or "heat Angelina Jolie". It's quicker to type and you get more accurate results.

"You can just type your search in the top bar! You don't have to go to www.google.com."

As an IT guy, I know what to expect when I get to hell.

could not resolve the address “heat angelina jolie”

[–] dutchkimble@lemy.lol 12 points 1 day ago

Why use many word when few work

[–] nyctre@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago (5 children)

I just tested. "Angelina jolie heat" gives me tons of shit results, I have to scroll all the way down and then click on "show more results" in order to get the filmography.

"Is angelina jolie in heat" gives me this bluesky post as the first answer and the wikipedia and IMDb filmographies as 2nd and 3rd answer.

So, I dunno, seems like you're wrong.

[–] howrar@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Have people just completely forgot how search engines work? If you search for two things and get shit results, it means those two things don't appear together.

[–] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

it's truly shocking how bad people are at seeking information. It literally took me 20 seconds to discover she's not in the movie heat.

[–] nyctre@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

I mean, when even people on Lemmy (who are supposed to be a bit more tech literate and stuff) insist that the solution is cutting a couple 2 letter words from your search query to make everything much shorter and efficient, are you even surprised?

I've been thinking for a while that people seem to be getting dumber and it might actually be true I don't think that it's a coincidence that fascism and other forms of conservatism seem to be on the rise pretty much everywhere in the world.

[–] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

both queries give me poor results and searching "heat cast" reveals that she is not actually in the movie, so that's probably why you can't find anything useful

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

it's not the queries. it's Google. it doesn't care about your stupid results, it just needs to shove a couple more ads in your ass so please disable your blocker and lubricate

Because that's the normal way in which humans communicate.

But for Google more specifically, that sort of keyword prompts is how you searched stuff in the '00s... Nowadays the search prompt actually understands natural language, and even has features like "people also ask" that are related to this.

All in all, do whatever works for you, it's just that asking questions isn't bad.

[–] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 1 day ago (18 children)

Google is not a human so why would you communicate with it as if it were a human? unlike chatgpt it's not designed to answer questions, it's designed to search for words on webpages

Google was fine as it was before, now it does shit like this. I hate how AI is shoved down our throats. And the results on google nowadays feel so much worse and generic than a few years ago. That isn't just a feeling I have, right?

[–] Dettweiler42@lemmy.dbzer0.com 91 points 2 days ago (9 children)

Add obscenities to your search for the most optimized results. It drops the AI component and seems to provide the more direct results we used to get.

They’re an ad company that just happens to offer search as a way to show ads.

Their ideal scenario is one where you search forever and never find what you were looking for.

Wouldn't removing your ovaries and fallopian tubes make you not "fertile" by definition?

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 69 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Yes, it contradicts itself within the next couple of sentences.

Is it considered normal to type out a normal question format when using search engines?

If I were looking for an answer instead of making a funny meme, I'd search "heat movie cast Angelina Jolie" if I didn't feel like putting any effort in.

Then again, I guess I shouldn't be surprised. I've seen someone use their phone to search google "what is 87÷167?" instead of doing "87/167" or like... Opening the calculator....

People do things in different, sometimes weird ways.

It also contradicts itself immediately, saying she’s fertile, then immediately saying she’s had her ovaries removed end that she’s reached menopause.
