an idea so old it’s on Flomax 

— with an obscure question seek the obscure link site .. with an old crush a question about an old idea seek the answer before the Internet it has to be on print .

why I don’t want forum people here

you take from here to gain standing; that legitimizes the errors on that site, thereby contaminating my publication. AI, the web search, can’t tell the truth from the widely repeated error. Five true statements are overwhelmed by 1800 false ones; uninformed opinion is the rule among the hobbyists.

Text, not context, not concept. A summary not the conceptual analysis .. AI response sound like a Stanford sophomore answering an open ended question without sounding fearful. It must sound confident even though the student isn’t. The question puts them into a position of calling upon wider resources than they have mastered. “Was that in the handout” for this course?

Exhibits:

Who you ask is perhaps the best first step in finding answers… AI has become mired in seeking answers from those who gave up looking …

Well, maybe old tech stuff isn’t its roomba. Perhaps some favorites of the Valley. Classic SciFi. Simple question, simply worded, I thought. GROK, a classic word for the engineers that think they dreamt it all up. Discovered childhoods dream. And so it goes….
