The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

If you know something about the topic you’re searching, you won’t be surprised sometimes to find mistakes, poorly drawn statistics, or outright hallucinations included in the summary.

I'll second that. AI search is basically useless for most things I have to look for professionally.


From just looking at basic tax law, it's spot on, does a good job. I was given this basic book to help me plug into the software and, found that if I queried refundable credits, the list was much better than the one in the book, though not complete, it was more complete. And I can query how to input into my software, and it did a good job.

I find I can get different answers depending on how I ask the tax question, but they're all pretty good responses. So what are all the different AIs? I'm only familiar with Google.
