I do find myself turning more and more to the Bing chatbot. Sometimes it does quite well, other times not.
I asked it a few days ago about the production of diatoms. Firstly it pointed out that most are marine harvested, with some eaten as food, and, when I challenged it to come up with a more pragmatic scientific answer, it then went on to tell me about the industrial journal of diatom manufacture and research and how best to contact their associates. It was a firm 10/10.
But today I asked it about perlite. It fell into a strop with me when I pointed out that it was contradicting itself, and that perlite is clearly manmade. I said it needed to be open to learning by deductive reasoning,... and then it broke. Kaput. Only a 1/10 today.
Do you get on with it?
