Great use case of AI. Almost 4 years after the sensational release of GPT3.5, the best use case of AI is still being a powerful search engine that can gather information from all corners of the digital world.

This is a strong application of LLMs IMO. They are idea machines. Historical ways of thinking give us different paths to explore the world through.
