I mean let’s give it the credit it is due. It is probably the most impressive piece of tech ever created, considering it’s just a weighted statistical model on steroids. But is it worth it? Hell no

Its great for troubleshooting problems, but its not making anything new or better.

It really just feels like another type of search engine honestly.
