Don't trust "AI" and also realize that the push to have "AI" in everything happened because some tech people wanted to get rich and other tech people didn't want others to get rich without them, and now they've all spent too much money on a bad product and are trying to scramble out of the hole.
Columbia Journalism Review tested eight generative AI search tools and found their answers were wrong 60% of the time, and the paid ones actually fared worse than the free ones.

"We need to call privatization what it is: adding a profit tax onto a public good. A public post office puts all its resources toward delivering mail. A privatized post office will divert a large chunk of its income to shareholders. In what universe is that better?"
