  "textContent": "> AI chat is only really useful in that respect if you know absolutely nothing about a topic yet and need a primer. Beyond that? Rubbish!\n\nAgreed! Totally basic things it does get right but beyond that it's all a mess. Actually I try as much as possible not to interact with AI, but unfortunately even regular search results are so useless that I'd rather call a friend or something, and ask for a brief response. If only I had any friends left...\n\n\n> This is why we also exchange written letters and post cards. It's a lot more personal.\n\nIndeed. I'm so glad you do that. It's real life, and it can't be beaten.\n\n\n> But in terms of just wanting to get a message across, the Internet isn't \"an utterly stupid and pointless waste of time\".\n\nTrue, and I'm sure **andyprough** didn't intend to throw just _everything_ into one single pot. There stll are good things about the Internet, depending on each person's range of utilities, knowledge etc. But I also do understand the point of view expressed by him when an urgent search comes up with 100% garbage, or an apparently extremely easy task proves to be way too difficult because of those \"security tools\" or whatever that ultimately eat up our - sometimes very limited - time, be it spare time or even our plain time on Earth.\n\n* * *",
