I had my TV on while I was making my morning coffee and some dude was talking about the health benefits of exercise and nutrition. When I sat down and began watching, it was clear pretty quickly that this was AI. So, I listened to the AI dude for a while and, because I'm an old gal, I knew at least some of what he said was true.

(14,103 posts)The trouble with the old Google was that people who have only shallow knowledge and are prone to run with their feelings are easily misled into rabbit holes by old-fashioned Google queries. The queries inevitably turn up some cray cray stuff intended to sell ads or recruit and hook the "cult think" prone.
AI tries to keep people from thinking dumb or crazy things. That's a huge benefit. It's just in time.
