    I know AI sucks but this would actually be lame. I use DeepSeek basically just to search for info that I otherwise could through Google, but without seeing ads and actually giving me contextual info I need. Like I had a plumbing issue and it helped me solve that pretty quickly. Otherwise I’d just be Googling the same thing and having to either go through YouTube videos extended out to 10 minutes for no reason other than gaming the algorithm, or shitty content slop articles with the actual info buried under a mountain of SEO. Or sifting through the worst people’s comments on Reddit. Anyway, DeepSeek helps me avoid ads a least a little bit in this shitty internet society, this would be really annoying

      If hell exists and I go there - I know what awaits me. For eternity - the demons will force me to answer “how to” questions only with Youtube. And even with eternity in front of me - I’ll never been able to answer fast enough and/or quickly enough.

      I had an issue with my thermostat and the only workable solution was - heavy sigh - watching vids. I thought I was going to give myself a brain aneurysm in frustration and annoyance.

      “So - once you got the that thing right…” What/which thing!

      “Frab groptel smesh plottle…” What the fuck! Do you have three of your own fingers in your mouth? What are you saying!
