I work retail, and customer and fellow employee alike have no ability to google fucking anything, and this isn't bound by any age bracket or demographic. Young and old alike, half my job is googling shit for them, I'll do it in front of them in an attempt to be like "see you can do this yourself next time" and it never works. People will call my shop and ask me to google the phone number and directions TO OTHER STORES!

I forced a younger coworker to google a question he asked me yesterday and I swear I heard the fucking 2001 Space Odyssey theme played as he realized you can find information to answers your questions yourself!

Now you can google how long to boil pasta and the AI will tell you to try adding diesel to it because Reddit says so

I was so mad the other day. My car key battery died, go to walmart to buy another one. Don't know what kind of coin battery it is so I just google it, the AI tells me it's a CR2032. I'm like "there's no way this thing can provide false information on something like this" and since I had such shitty cell service in the store I just bought the CR2032.

Get home and it's the completely wrong size, I needed a CR1620.

I spent like $17 on batteries that wont even work for me RAHHHHHH IM SO MAD

I want to try the diesel pasta recipe because it sounds like it should be spicy and tasty. That I have this absurd idea and urge in my head years after seeing it is yet another terrible thing that LLMs have to answer for.
