I use it quite a bit and it's excellent "in it's wheelhouse"... like "Describe the conditions leading up to 1066 and William's invasion of England."

Then what you get is a Yale lecture hall experience...

But ask AI something more recent, possibly occurring after it's last data set was closed... and it's confused.

A month or so ago... when I was catching up on Yellowstone I asked "Do they show Kevin Costner's death in Yellowstone?"

AI said Costner's character was alive and well.
