There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

Oof, the sycophancy problem in LLM's + triggering on any irrelevant details you feed them, recently led a P2 problem call down the wrong pathing for hours.
The chatbot is never going to TELL you to step back and ask if this entire inquiry is irrelevant to larger goal.
This is your moat. It's mine.

New research from MIT found that those who used ChatGPT can’t remember any of the content of their essays.
Key takeaway: the product doesn’t suffer, but the process does. And when it comes to essays, the process *is* how they learn.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

also want to add that the fountain pen peeps avoid noodler's and goulet for a bunch of reasons (actual antisemitism on noodler's end, homophobia on goulet's)
This is for a very specific community:
Fountain Pen folks: do not buy from Ferris Wheel Press.
ICYMI, they posted an ad on IG for a Harry Potter collab line of pens.
During Pride month.
And if you’re a FWP affiliate? Might want to reevaluate that with your own morals and ethics.
