Its does have some problems, biggest I see right now is context length which makes secondary questions hallucinate and give bad instructions.

Its biggest bonus is Realtime data using x posts/comments, been able to ask about trending information and getting good results. Also good for software questions on current software.

Not perfect, but you have to direct it. Makes sense, if you dont specify the field if discussion it will give you random results and gibberish.


While testing it I've found that it starts to hallucinate pretty quickly. It doesn't seem to understand context as good as other competitors.


It also is just as PC as the rest of them I thought it was supposed to be able to be racist as its big differentiator that fans were excited about


I'm not sure why, but the idea of some bluetick enraged that the computer is insufficiently racist is just terribly, terribly funny to me.
