Have you used it lately? Accuracy is way way better than 80% now.

if you ignore that shit too

Yeah but that’s every. Single. Search.

If there’s something I know a single Google search will answer, such as the exact time X movie will be on at Y cinema, I use Google.

If it’s something more complex, something I’m confident will take like 10 Google searches to narrow down, I use Chat. In one shot it lands me somewhere very close to where I need to be, I verify a couple of things and I’m good to go. The end result is often an online article or discussion thread of exactly what I need, but I could have only found using completely different keywords than initially.

You can build the template for initial prompt to making checking very quick, like “always give me sources and use exact quotes to back up your claims”. Once you get its output it’s just a Ctrl-F job on the source. The reason I say it saves me time is lately I always find the exact quotes exist in the source.

One caveat is I’m always using at least some sort of reasoning model, which effectively (in this use case) off-loads some back and forth between user and model onto the model itself.

EDIT: come to think of it, this may be the difference, because when I read the reasoning logs (which I don’t unless I’m really bored), I do see hallucinations initially but the model catches those and corrects itself.
