I’d like an AI we can set to “truthful, and damn the consequences”.

We’d need to train it ourselves I guess.

I think Perplexity AI tries to do that. It's developers say that it isn't "trained" (as such) but instead just searches the internet and available data sources for answers to your questions.

If I understand it correctly, Perplexity is trying to dislodge Google search.

Like you, I am looking forward to owning my own AI platform that does what I want it to. Presumably, that is coming.
