I understand that what it came up with sounds impressive (especially since I know 0 about Myanmar), but on the topics I do know about its analysis routinely have very fundamental problems (even this Myanmar analysis has % that add up to > 100). There's a chance it's just parroting the majority opinion on Myanmar, or making stuff up (and perhaps you could ask it to write a strongly worded opinion in the other direction that would sound equally plausible).

For example I asked it to do a full analysis on the AI bubble, and a full analysis on the risks of Glyphosate, and it came up with a lot of things that sounded credible, but within a few minutes of questing was admitting it hadn't even really checked for internal consistency in its positions, and even doing a 180. It certainly was much faster at gathering sources and reading but it fundamentally doesn't seem very effective at creating a consistent worldview.

And of course the funny thing is it says it did a 180 on one of these topics, great, except whatever it concluded will be discarded because it cannot learn. It's just bonkers to me pretend this is AGI, it probably couldn't even hold its own in this very discussion.
