You say you’ve been having a lot of success… how can you possibly know that? Whenever I get any summary or diatribe or lecture out of a chatbot all I know is that I have a major fact checking challenge. And I don’t have time for it. I cannot believe you are doing all that fact-checking.

It includes website references for most of these searches so its easily verifiable. Here's an example: https://chatgpt.com/share/6839b2a0-d4f4-8000-9224-f4065898029f https://chatgpt.com/share/6839b2a0-d4f4-8000-9224-f406589802... I was traveling in Tokyo recently and took a picture of a van that was hosting what looked like a political rally in Akihabara with hand painted slogans on the outside. It wrote some python code to analyze the image segment by segment and eventually came up with the translations. Then it was able to find me the website for the political party, which had an entry for the rally that was held that day. I don't speak Japanese so its possible some of the translations were not accurate but it looked like it generally lined up and it ultimately got me what I wanted eventually. I was there a year ago as well and tried doing similar translations and it had a very hard time with the hand painted kanji. Its really come a long way since then. I also used it to find some obscure anime events the same day, most of which are only announced in Japanese on obscure websites. Being a non-speaker and not familiar with the websites it would have been a huge pain to google.

  If you are using AI to do things that you can immediately verify, that’s cool. A great many things AI can supposedly do are not easily verifiable. A client of mine used it to “summarize” a series of lectures I did. It got a lot right and crucial things wrong that required me to warn them against trusting any of the summaries. They were fatally contaminated in a way that required damage control.
