A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

Basically, every search engine has incorporated LLMs and are shoving them down your throat. If we are talking about tools that I would find useful I'd rather have a reverse image search.
Edit: damn, that down vote hurt. Must be an llm developer, I guess.

If you are accusing me, I would like to clarify that, as of writing this, I have not downvoted your comment ^[1]^.

No. Just in general. My comment was pretty non offensive and I was responding to a person asking for clarification.

So, for clarity, are you saying that a reverse image search tool is more useful to you than AI integration, yet search engines are pushing for AI integration rather than reverse image search tools, and they may not have reverse image search tools at all?
You got it, my dude.
You are comparing apples and oranges. That’s probably why.
What search engine do you use that has LLM integration but doesn't already have reverse image search?
I had no idea an llm could even accurately display sources. I guess I'll try again but as far as I know once they have their training material they are seldom retrained. Seldom as in not real time.
Why respond to a question if you’re just going to go off on a tangent without answering it?
I thought they were saying all llms have reverse image search integration.
Useful if you understand how they work and what they are good at
They're very useful, but just for certain things. The problem is that every corpo idiot out there thinks they're useful for everything, which they're most certainly not.
They're ok, just pretty limited in what they can do. Doesn't help i also have to fact check them.
My use cases thus far have been pretty minimal. Stuff like OCR extraction of tables from images (which were possible before LLM's), very occasional reformatting of lists and stuff, some of the built in summarization features which provide tiny value. I've never actually used them to write something for me. The one time I considered it I found something better already written.
But at least you can use LLM AI for the simple price of checks notes environmental catastrophe
Bings image search is still its most useful feature.
