    I can't stand AI search results for a number of reasons, but mainly because they lie and people believe them.... which then makes the lie true because people think AI is somehow an authority. It is not, but try telling the masses that. :).

    I've written quite a bit on this... anyhow.....here's a different rant.

    An author submitted some apps today that I started looking up. In this case, LinuxSimplify-windows. I did a quick search on the file to see what was up. One thing I sometimes do is add 'majorgeeks' to the search just to see if we have it, it used to have a differnt name, or you guys are talking about it and we missed something.

    Lo and behold -- Bing not only gives MajorGeeks CREDIT for the file but lists the official GitHub page for LinuxSimplify-Windows as our review or Chris Titus's WinUtil. Granted the summary is correct, but daaaaamn, but do we really want this stuff flying our planes and driving our cars?

    How do you explain the ticket? Sorry, Officer, my AI missed the red light, but it got the speed right. We cool?

    Artificial Idiocy is breeding more of the genuine thing. What was the name of that movie? "Idiocracy"? That's what we're coming to.
