The biggest issue I have had with it at the moment is that you have to look
over the shoulder of AI to be sure that it is telling you the correct
thing. In other words, if you know what you are looking for, it can be
useful. If you don't, you can't count on it to actually know what it is
looking at and if it is giving you good advice or not. Just ask it how
much oil the waterboxer engine capacity is. It may give you the correct
answer, or it may not. If you were depending on it and had no idea what
the right answer might be, how would you know if it was telling you useful
information, or just helped you destroy your engine? You don't. It is
getting better, but a human is still needed to at least know what answer
should be dismissed out of hand.
