Looking at my own search results, the thing that jumps out to me the most is that my search queries are almost entirely topic based and chatGPT assumes I want to talk to it or give it instructions, which aren't really the same thing.
For example my searches are all shorthand: "terraria switch", "spouse", "vampire's kiss", "a way out", "broomball", "wes anderson".
Sure I could have asked ChatGPT "is terraria available for the nintendo switch?", "what is the definition of the word 'spouse'?", "what is the movie 'vampire's kiss' about?", "when was the game 'a way out' released?", "what is broomball, how does it work, and where is it played?", "what movies has wes anderson made?" -- but that's a whole lot more typing and google had the answers I needed directly in my face (or one click away in the case of broomball) without me even asking the actual question. I'm frequently amazed at Google's ability to know what I need without me telling it much (I don't even bother to type anything correctly anymore since I know it can fix even incomprehensible spelling mistakes).
I don't have an answer, but I do have an anecdote.
some friends and I had been having spurious movie nights over the years, and decided to give Vampire's Kiss a go. we scoured the horror section of blockbuster and were unable to find it, so we asked. "oh, that's in the comedy section."
Buffeted by this knowledge, we told the movie night host that we found it, and were ready to go, and left it at that. Later, the host, perplexed, stopped the movie and said, "either this is the stupidest vampire movie I've ever seen, or it's supposed to be a comedy." once our laughter stopped, we explained, and continued the movie in peace.
so, I'm not sure I have a pitch, but drop all expectations and just enjoy a classic John Carpenter movie.
Both great tracks! You ever see the criminally underrated film 'Vampire's Kiss' with Nicholas Cage? Features ESG playing that song live in a club.
