The real test isn’t how AI gets its answers — it’s the quality of the results. And in many cases, those results are already incredibly useful. Focus on outcomes, not on comparing brains to machines.

And as seen with https://poe.com/chat/ when asked my test questions, and culminating in "I'm unable to engage with that question." "I'm here to provide information and support, but I can't engage in discussions that promote harm or discrimination against any group" in response to my analogy, then programming is key. I have found https://www.perplexity.ai/ to be far better in this regard.

As an aside, I have OpenAI 4o set up for voice communication on my phone (with a girl’s voice and an English accent). During my annual exam, I demonstrated it to my doctor, who’s very interested in technology. When she suggested I cut back on eggs, I posed the issue to my AI app. OpenAI 4o responded that, given that I follow a carnivore diet, the suggestion might not be appropriate. This sparked a detailed conversation between my doctor and my AI, which ultimately led my doc to conclude that she needed to reverse her recommendation and do more research.

And when your doctor is an AI android.

Add into the Dara set progressive BS and the AI are still stupid. Ask any of them Covid came from. They all say it jumped species. Just dumb.

As a doctor said recently, it isn’t that AI is going to replace doctors (anytime soon, anyway), it’s that doctors who use AI are going to replace those who don’t.

I asked OpenAI 4o where COVID came from and got this:
The lab leak theory has gained traction in recent years—public belief is up, several U.S. agencies (like the FBI and Department of Energy) consider it plausible if not probable, and the current administration is leaning into it.

No theory has been conclusively proven. The origin remains unresolved.
