Yes but the power of it is that you can in effect refine your search using natural language, like talking to a person, as it remembers the last 2-3 exchanges.

And it presents the information the way you asked to see it.

For example (my side of the "conversation"):

  • What is hamas?
  • Compared to Hezbollah?
  • what are the differences between Shia and Sunni?

The citations confirm the information, they are not the end goal. The added value is the fact that the information is pre-digested and presented in a way that matches my learning process. It's a lot easier for me to assimilate information by getting answers to questions that I've asked.

The one in Skype works quite well and is usually not blocked by companies firewalls... Or so I've heard...

As far as I know Google and Bing return AI results just above the usual web page results.

In addition AI LLM tools like Copilot (the mobile app) and Perplexity which cite their sources with links to websites really make it easier to weed out the BS from LLM answers, if you use them carefully. In my case, these tools replace search engines in 80% of the searches that I do.

Exactly.

And India doesn't have chillies add Italy doesn't have tomatoes... Where do we stop?

Then what do people mean when they say normal soap and antibacterial soap and how does that affect what I should be using after handling raw meat or just going to the toilets etc?

They should've said "all other inhabitants" to remove the ambiguity.

You could also read it differently nowadays 15 years later with all the emissions scandal. Probably wouldn't want to trust Volkswagen with such statements huh.

What's "wrong" in your question is the assumption that a) the only reason religions exist is the lack of knowledge and b) that the knowledge we have answers all the questions that people seek answers to when they turn to religion. I think if you question these assumptions then you'll easily start to find the answers. Otherwise see all the other comments.

This article really sounds like it describes an alternate reality to me. Interesting to see how many people in the comments seem to hate self checkouts but here in the UK they seem to work fine. Shops seem to have found the right balance. In the same shop you'll have queues advancing rapidly at self checkouts and people run tills with shorter queues for customers who prefer the human interaction.

Would be good if they also force companies to support security updates for more that 5 years...

I don't need to change phone. I like my S10+. It does what I need. But I feel I'll have to change it soonish if I want to continue using for online banking etc.

Well it depends what user experience and quality you are after. Some of Meta's Llama 2 models require several GBs of GPU ram to run and be responsive.
