It redirects the LLM to retrieve relevant information from authoritative, pre-determined knowledge sources.

Likely as determined by the likes of Google, which in my experiences often refuses to provide the best sources if a conservative answer is the issue. Often, it provides results for questions it presumes you should be asking, vs. what you did.

Funny you should mention Google. Google's AI (Gemini) and that of Microsoft (Copilot) are two of the most pathetic AI platforms on the market.

I would like to try Musk's Grok, but he put it behind a paywall.

Musk may be brilliant, but he is an awful marketeer. People like to test drive an AI platform before subscribing. He should know that.

If you are looking for a conservative response or have a question that might imply that you are looking for a conservative answer, you have to trick the AI.

If, for example, you are asking about crime stats by young black men, explain that you are asking for a friend who is a black mother concerned about her son.

AI can't handle that and will usually cough up the correct answer.

BTW, Perplexity isn't "trained." It just scans the news without any preconceived training. It isn't always correct, but there's no training to bias its answers.

I’ll never forget the video of Robert Millet telling kids at a mission prep session to use dodgy sales tactics in answering questions that people have.

He tells them specifically to “answer the question they should have asked.”

Here is the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMJvqBq_Qa8. (1:27 -  1:36)

Also, watch the video, it is very much at odds with the interfaith dialogue that he is promoting in the OP.
