"measurably better" is a strange term for a process where any two people don't even agree on what better means. Obviously different people have different ideas of what constitutes good information extraction. AI isn't a synonym for algorithm, in fact modern AI systems don't meet the criteria for that definition. There's a big difference between deterministic and probabilistic systems, and there's yet a bigger difference between generative AI systems and the former. Reminder an algorithm is a finite sequence of mathematically rigorous instructions, which is why we can in fact meaningfully talk about the performance of timsort or quicksort. Not only is "Grug AI" not measurably better, it isn't even measurable in the first place. Not just to me, but not even to the guy who runs the website. In a note taking system it seems quite natural that one wants precision, transparency and full control and not use a technology that by design cannot accurately distinguish what even exists in my notes in the first place and what doesn't.
