Yet Paul Krugman told us that inflation was going down if we didn't include food, gas and etc. Just for this kind of gaslighting by the elites, the democrats deserve a giant middle finger.

I'm curious how ChatGPT Search improves recall and reduce spams. I can see how LLM helps find the most relevant content. However, it is still hard to find the right content, especially in a domain that has tons of spams. For instance,
