Even then there's literally nothing stopping it from making shit up.

Sure yeah, for now. Just saying I literally use it to mine out things to confirm (/ not believe until I do) and so far it has very rarely led me astray and even then it's been small nuance. It's striking.

  • What do you mean "for now"? Yes, right now, at the most impressive it's ever been, it has this fundamental flaw.

    • Assuming you're serious and not just knee jerk reacting to the flippant way I replied, this is pretty much exactly what I meant. The full text of this short story I can't find a good link (old ones I've read are broken links now) but this reading on YouTube will suffice.

    • Which is hilarious considering humans make shit up, lie and parrot falsehoods _constantly_. Even without intending to.
