        That's not a rebuttable of a claim that Bing is more accurate. A proper rebuttable would involve empirical evidence that Bing is no more accurate than other LLM tools that do not add analytic augmentations such as search results to their prompts. Based on empirical evidence, I find that analytic augmentations do indeed result in more accurate results: https://github.com/williamcotton/empirical-philosophy/blob/main/articles/from-prompt-alchemy-to-prompt-engineering-an-introduction-to-analytic-agumentation.md https://github.com/williamcotton/empirical-philosophy/blob/m...
