Something I noticed (sh.itjust.works)

Something from work I noticed today that will unfortunately become the norm.

If you gibbity an answer, you're regarded as smarter than someone who searched it. The funny part is I've actually given it a try, and it's wrong so often that it actually wastes my time. And, if it's right and I don't agree, I can say it's wrong, and with a 98% confidence level it changes the answer.

Side note, this is exactly why the fascist tech bros are pushing hard to shove this tech down our throats.

I feel so damn old having to look up “gibbity.” Ugh.

I totally agree though, LLMs are consistently wrong when I ask a work-related question. I work in a field that isn’t particularly niche and use software that millions of people use every day, and LLMs will straight up invent entire menus rather than telling me it doesn’t know how to do something. Huge waste of time, especially when asking a coworker gets an accurate answer right away.

What definition did you find? I could only find it meaning either bullshit or acting foolish, neither of which make sense in op's post. Based on context I'd assume it's basically "to google" using ai but I can't find anything to back that up.

I read it as them treating the initialism "GPT" as an acronym, resulting in "gibbity". I once a YouTuber refer to ChatGPT as "Mr. jip-uh-tee" and I think this is the same idea. I think your definition of "researching using AI" is right, they're just saying it in a joking way.

This is right.

That actually makes sense, thanks!
