    If the AI they use is reliable, this is actually pretty cool.

      That "if" is doing such an incredible amount of work I think we could use it to power the entire US grid.

        Why? Aren’t there many vendors offering this technology?

          Reliable Artificial Intelligence? Other than very domain-specific applications, I am not aware of any.

          Yes. And none of them are reliable. LLM "hallucinations" are implicit to their structure and function, you can't just tell them to be honest.

          inb4 "humans aren't reliable either." You, person typing that very response out right now, you are part of the problem.

            that’s a general complain about LLMs not this application

              It's a complaint about LLMs that includes this application, because it applies to all LLMs including this application.

                This lazy style of participation sounds like “wow this article touches on something I happen to have an opinion on, now is a good time to share it.” You’re reading headlines and not engaging with the material present.

            The problem being that we are adults, have to deal with real life, and can no longer pretend that running to mommy when we don't understand something gives us a "reliable" answer? You may next find out there is no Santa Claus.

      No, it really isn't.
