       On Argument: This is a social media site; I publish opinions in the "public square".The fact that I study argumentation does not mean that, when challenged, I will whip out a full argument analysis down to the base evidential statements. Analysis is expensive. If I don't satisfy you, do some of your own.I block trolls and those who gratuitously annoy me.

       @bashfulrobot @killyourfm @Magess Well, I can guess. A search engine, even a chatty one, that doesn't support following things up will be useless and so unused.

       @killyourfm @bashfulrobot @Magess OK. That's  a step closer to a personal assistant.Not my point though. It has to provide prioritized follow-up links for research without its specific help. Unless it's actually an AGI, which it isn't.

       @Magess @killyourfm Me too. In some respects, its lying is overblown. I know how to fact check, even if ChatGPT doesn't. But if that propensity is injected into a search engine, lots of people will be misled. QAnon boom times!OTOH the whole point is a live connection to Internet resources, so fact checking becomes possible for the search engine itself. Automated fact checking may not be as good as human for a long while, however.

       @killyourfm @Magess It's an internet search engine, isn't it? I think it has to.

       @aljazeera So, China is doing flight tests over Columbia because... Chinese airspace is too crowded?

       Dangerous nine-year old black #terrorist trying to destroy a community with home-made pesticide stopped in her tracks by a bigoted old white guy calling the police. The police responded and interrogated "the little black woman" because the racist said the little girl was "scary".Yale chose to honor the black girl for listening to their plea to stop an invasive insect species instead of the hyper-alert white racist, but they would, wouldn't they?#racism #police #TerrorismInAmerica https://www.theguardian.com/education/2023/jan/31/yale-honors-9-year-old-girl-wrongly-reported-police
