@mHtt @david_chisnall ...to verify anything an AI tells them by using non-AI sources.
It also tried to butter me up multiple times. I told it it was being sycophantic and to stop it. It followed my direction for several exchanges before reverting to overly complimentary statements. I thought that was interesting.
