       Trying out chat.ai again as a super-google trying to find a good USB-C hub that has a DisplayPort 4k output and some USB-C and A ports. And it looked really good at first, until I realized that not single one of its initial recommendations has DisplayPort output...After being corrected, it did get me on a bit better track (only one of its later recommendations was completely wrong, and also no longer made).Eh...It does still seem useful, but it's wrong so often.

       That said, a really interesting side effect of how it uses conversational output, and even keeps chat histories, is that I really want to go back and let it know how its advice turned out, and say thank you when it is helpful. I don't think there's anything bad about that. We're a family with a history of putting googly eyes on the printers.

       It's not really chat.ai's fault that it can't find a good USB hub for me. I suspect there isn't really one that I'll find ideal out there, and the one's that are close are unreasonably expensive because they have more features than I want. I suspect, however, that no mater how many restrictions I put on it, it will always keep recommending products, even if it has to make them up, rather than admit it doesn't have a good answer for me. And I think that's a weakness.

       @cocoaphony My colleague asked for advice to solve a specific problem and it came with incredible good and detailed instructions based on an Apple iOS framework. We were all stunned that we had never heard of this framework until we realized it was completely made up.
