It's no crime to use AI...if you ask for cites on your queries.

My business is asking Gemini-

*What is current US extrusion capacity vs, demand,
*Will US leadtimes for aluminum extrusions increase over the next year?
*What are US expansion plans? Stuff more machines in existing plants or investments in new, no labor US extrusion plants"

I rep a few Indian factories focused on extrusions. We are sucking bog water now, but we are getting "hey guys, how's it going" emails from accounts that bailed on the 50% tariffs. But sales is also about delivering product, even if it means accepting the cost increase of Trump's tariffs.

We can't afford consultants to answer questions that AI can deliver, without cost. And, if you want a second opinion, ask a different AI model.
