I agree that LLMs should be opt-in.

However i am often working on projects with garbage or huge documentation, or community boards, that in the past would require a good bit of googlefu to figure out.

Google became absolutely useless for that task. LLMs saved internet search that isnt shallow.

Yeah, google been shit for over a decade now. Not long after SEO became the norm and Google figured out a way to profit from it.

LLMs have saved internet searching. For the first time in years, i am getting (usually) relevant information for my questions.

And not some sponsored or SEO optimized shithole.

That the CC can be used without any form of validation seems to be a problem here.

If Google would just verify the security code or something, couldve easily claimed the user made a willing purchase in such case.

But removing such barriers is more profitable.

The guy you’re responding to has a valid point.

No way the son would get away with these actions at a physical store. “My dad was in here earlier, you saw him, i like to keep using his credit card tho, thanks”

Gee, I wonder why scamming is so huge after turning the digital market in to full “end-user responsibility” and tech companies removing carefully curated practices over the centuties for profit maximization.

Google earns billions of these scummy tactics to get users to spend as much as possible by removing any barriers of control and security. Why dont they get any of the responsibility?

Are we going backwards? History is repeating, isn’t it or did I take the wrong pill.

Because I could do that with the Anarchist Cookbook over 2 decades ago as well.
