    The tone of this article is dumb. Of course there are things that can be improved with LLM interfaces, and certainly UX improvements like better citations and grounding can be implemented. But the idea that what has been built "isn't serious" is asinine.

      I'd argue the overwhelming majority of consumer-facing AI products aren't serious products to consumers.

      I'm mostly referring to needless AI chatbots shoehorned into various places.

        Yes, here's an example of an AI product that is not serious:

        In the built-in Copilot integration in outlook, describing an email and asking to find it, and being told that Copilot has no access to your inbox.
