How on earths name do you use an LLM to find information ? I just don’t get it. For current events it out of date and it confidently feeds me shit ?

I might use them occasionally for a rubber ducky but , replacing Google ? Hm

Yeah fair enough. I just don’t see how this is entirely revolutionary though. We still need to know our stuff.
