Yes, I’ll just trust the AI to help me fuck around with grid voltage levels.

With google search results becoming so poor, I guess I need to look into kagi or duck-duck. Pain in my dick, motherless goatfucking, horsehit-happy asshole, corporate varmints gotta fuck it all up for more profit. I’m tired, yo.

    I don’t use Google and I agree with the energy. But every electrical product I’ve ever purchased has come with a manual, which gives all of the safety information.

    So I guess read your manuals and don’t go rage searching on Google

      Until you lose your manual and need to look up the information online, hoping to find the manual or relevant info you are first presented with this.

      lots of people wont search any further than the AI summary.

        I hate AI too, but reading and parsing manuals is one of the few things it’s actually good at. The linked sources are right there if OP wants to confirm

          It’s not so great when the only available digital manual is a jpg scan from a printed version. There’s also no way to tell what other sources an LLM is using when it generates its summary, and when you’re dealing with things that are important to get right, like voltage, you have to just read the manual/specifications.

        I’d hope if you’re in a job where you regularly poke around line voltage and higher, you’d be smarter than to think your little meter can handle transmission voltage.

          I’m more concerned about people who don’t do that regularly and think ‘don’t worry; I’ll ask Google’
