I have noticed that things often seem to be getting worse rather than better. I'm not sure how much AI has got to do with it.
Only yesterday I was looking up pentode constant current sinks and was presented with almost everything but even when I entered several explicit variations of search. I know it is perhaps a subject in which 99.99.. searches would not be for but I thought the idea of AI was to help, not hinder.
Luckily I have lots of books and other information in dowloaded PDF's so I found what I was looking for.
AI does seem to cope well for stock answers but can get it completely wrong for the unusual. Another thing about it is that it appears to be programmed to give results rather than admitting that it does not know. At least that's how it appears to me.
