The title really says it all, but I’m self hosting world of Warcraft wrath of the lich king.
I’m just so shocked that it all works to be honest. It’s blowing my mind still.
I always want to play classic wow, but I play so infrequently that it’s not worth paying a subscription.
It never really occurred to me that I could just host my own server until chatgpt recommended that when I was researching things to self hosting.
It’s not public yet as my upload speeds are too slow.
I think I’m going to set the server up on my laptop so I can play wow while on my 14 hour flight coming up.
I’ve always played the game solo anyway due to my casualness.
What’s wrong with this?
I remember when “research” actually meant something. Now it just means "throw it into the black box and get some info that has a 50/50 chance of being completely made up "
For dipping your toes into a new topic I think it’s perfectly fine. It helps to provide useful pointers for further “research” (in a sense that would meet your requirement) and also manages to provide mostly accurate overviews. But sure, to really dive into this, LLMs like ChatGPT and co. are just some low-level assistants at best and one should go through the material themselves.
It’s all become quite convoluted now with all the other shit out there but they do actually serve well as a research tool in a more intuitive way than a search engine can
You can ask CharGPT for sources. TBH it’s often a much better search engine than Google, although that’s not hard nowadays.
Perplexity does a good job as LLM-search-engine-combo.
