    I feel like it’s essentially a superfuled semantic search.
    I can put in multiple issues and symptoms and it spits out a websearch that mostly applies to my reported issue.

      Which is one of the few things these things can actually do because they’re entire thing is language processing.

      Basically put in a vague or comprehensive description of what you are trying to do or trying to find. It can generate a few queries based on your input and do a handful of searches then give you the results and highlight which ones might be the most relevant to your input.

      But, that still require traditional, and specifically deterministic, search.

      The way people blindly trust it’s output without any actual search or additional context is the worst way to use it. Might as well ask a magic 8-ball.

        Agreed.

        It actually did help me find an older movie based on the following aspects:

        • late 2000s/early 2010s
        • nature catastrophe
        • scene at the beach of people freezing instantly

        After ruling out "Day after tomorrow"and “Geostorm” that left me with “Arctic Blast” which it actually was (beware, it’s not great!)

        Yeah…
        But those are the same that clicked on the first search result and believed it as gospel… :/
