"I didn't try it myself, didn't care enough to do so"

Always check for yourself. Its the best policy.

the technology has a long way to go but that's always the case with new programmes. Remember how bad the original search engines were?

But Grok is getting better and is now my gotto when I'm checking facts for the first time.

But there's still massive improvement needed. I asked it to draw me an Athenian War Trireme recently (I wondered if it would show three banks of oars or one bank with three rowers) and the result was as historically incorrect as you could possibly imagine. Still I did my part and tried to give it a little training.
