    I always placed it a little more like “well aunt Marge said”. I mean, you all know Aunt Marge. If she doesn’t know she’ll make something up on the spot just to sound smart. But, she also might actually know it or have been told it recently by somebody else. That said, you can’t fucking trust her without looking it up, so never just ask marge, go look it up yourself.

      Ive been using it a lot lately to compare specs on consumer items. If you cant for the life of you figure out why 2 tvs are different prices without doing a heap of AV nerd research ask it to compare the model numbers and give you a breakdown of the differences.

      I dont ask it for anything that could be a subjective opinion.

        Not an overall bad fit, But you do have to be careful because if for some reason it can’t find any stats on one model over another It may very well just give you its best guess. Unless it’s doing a straight web search it seems to have about a 50/50 chance of knowing when it doesn’t know.
