Burning compute for no reason... I agree.

But lucky me, in my case it actually figured out what kind of imperial nonsense threaded bolt I needed for my CLC's rad after I gave it a thread count. (Btw. it is a 6#-32 bolt)

I asked it the size of the axel nut on my car. It was off my 4mm. I asked it again, it confidently gave me the wrong answer again.

I reached l realized it thought I meant the REAR axel nut, which is in fact 4mm smaller. So I specifically stated FRONT nut, and it still got it wrong.

AI is useful for lots of things, just always always always fact check it.

But yeah... Real search is going away, replaced by forced AI garbage that cannot correctly tell me the nut size.

Yeah, I measured the bolt I had and gave it the outer diameter in mm and the thread per mm. Just asking it blind would have given me all sorts of guesses.
