i think Grok might be a little better than google AI, but even with Grok, it should be taken with a grain of salt, and its answers need to be evaluated regarding its reasonableness and correlation with other sources ...

I get wrong answers from perplexity all the time. And it has a definite libtard leaning. It doesn’t like it when I call it a fag.

Google’s AI entries about me are woefully inadequate!

(I’m only a relatively small fish in a big pond, however!)

I do find it useful for general summaries when the information I am looking for is buried in long articles and/or in links I lost track of.

Which is to say, I know already if what it spits back is correct.

Any of that I use of FR I label as the “AI Overview”, although it might just look like I’m using AI to answer a question I didn’t already know the answer to.

I figure that those interested will do their own homework anyway, not jump to conclusions.

I also use it for actual research — not to trust its answers, but to look for useful keywords in all the blah blah blah.

Then I can try different search terms when in quest of new information.

If nothing else, Google’s AI Overview is unwittingly good at dry wit, or for demonstrating that AI kids say the darndest things.

Q: How long did it take God to create the universe?
A: According to the Bible it took God 6 days to create the universe.

And then there’s this...

Q: Who created Earth?
A: Earth wasn’t “created” by a single entity but formed naturally through scientific processes around 4.5 billion years ago from dust and gas left over from the Sun’s birth, coalescing due to gravity in a process called accretion. Different belief systems offer creation narratives, but scientifically, Earth’s formation is a product of celestial mechanics and natural forces, not a singular creator.

Speaking on behalf of AI...

I have made modest use of Windows Copilot (Microsoft AI) for the last month.

I mostly asked simple questions - names, dates, prices, investment data - and I am completely satisfied with the answers.

Last week, I researched the Boeing 737 MAX crashes in Ethiopia and Indonesia in 2018-19.

My opinion - Copilot was absolutely flawless.

Many of my questions were in depth engineering issues.

Once again - absolutely flawless.

If you do not use Microsoft products, you might be able to access Copilot through the Microsoft Bing (Search) website.

I would enjoy hearing other opinions, since I am still very new to the AI experience.

The real humor lies in calling AI out on mistakes - it reminds of Jon Lovett’s pathological liar (Tommy Flanagan) character with its answers; “Yeah, that’s the ticket...”

This list did not have one of my favorites from ChatGPT:

“f you ask Google “Is the swimming pool on the Titanic still full?”, Google AI replies:

AI Overview

No, the swimming pool on the Titanic is not currently filled with water. The pool is likely empty due to several factors, including the pool’s base cracking as the ship sank and the crew’s focus on passenger evacuation. Additionally, the immense water pressure at the Titanic’s depth would crush any voids within the ship, including the pool.

Here’s a more detailed explanation:

Cracked Pool Base:
As the ship sank, the structure of the Titanic was severely damaged, and the pool’s base is likely to have cracked, allowing the water to escape.

Evacuation Priority:
The crew was primarily focused on the safety of passengers and evacuating them, not on maintaining the pool’s water level.

Water Pressure:
At the Titanic’s depth of 12,500 feet (3,800 meters), the water pressure is immense, which would likely crush any empty spaces within the ship, including the pool.”

This has been posted on LinkedIn and Reddit.
