    I’ve never used any LLM, so I can’t comment on their quality, but at least around here the hours listed on Google (or any other large search engine) are frequently … Shall we say, not based on reality.

        Fuck Google, support OpenStreetMaps instead.

        I’m flabbergasted how people are not seeing the OpenAI stuff not just as not-that-useful, but very dangerous for privacy and open internet. And Google is trying to catch up, and they are still the biggest threat to privacy and open web.

        Don’t use either, every corporation will betray you.

        Support open solutions.

          agreed. but most people use gmaps.

          Especially in regards to shop opening hours.

          source: I actively update osm data, and regularly remove years old data from the system

            I refuse to help corporations for free so they can reap the benefits.

            They should pay people to update the hours. And people should look elsewhere for maps.

        Indeed, and so I should.

        Unfortunately, I don’t usually discover the hours are incorrect until I get to the location, at which point I often am too annoyed to remember to do my civic duty.

        I will try to do better in the future.

          Understandable. I usually take a photo of the opening hours sign and submit later

          If you’re not submitting corrections often, sending the photo along as proof also helps to get it accepted
