I mean just throw in a bunch of stuff you already liked, and then ask it to find similar stuff… Or just ask for a genre of stuff like “Space themed show with a lot of politics” (Assuming you didn’t already know that, then voila, it spits out: Expanse)
If it fucks up and give you something totally not what you were looking for, there’s not much harm besides a small bit of your time. Its fictional media anyways, just don’t go looking for news or medical advice lol, avoid treating it as a truth machine and its not that bad…
Okay sure you can hate the corporate that is gonna do evil shit with these tech, but the tech itself still kinda useful… (maybe we’ll get some very advanced and ethically made FOSS “AI”/LLM in the future, who knows)
I have tried it, doesn’t really work for me. I have tried online LLMs and local LLMs using Camofox etc. All I get are names of popular media, which I can usually find with a simple search on duckduckgo. In my case LLMs do not provide much help. Directly searching on pirated media sites like YTS, 1337x, or even using TMDB helps a lot more.
LLMs may perform better if they had direct API access of TMDB or something, like a skill on Hermes agent or open claw, that could also be better. But it still takes a lot more time and resources than just looking up stuff yourself. Also, searching yourself might show a thing or two more that you weren’t even looking for.
Upvote for the actual unpopular opinion, though.
This: just plain old “search” often yields better results. The information is out there and it’s not hard to find.
