This shows how the lengthy training process introduces a lag in the actuality of information (to be honest, the "Internet at large" also has a lag -- probably everyone knows the experience of looking for a local shop, finding references to it with address, only to find out that they closed 11 years ago). This is what Ihor was referring at with RAG [1], which looks like a good technical idea to mitigate the lag issue. My problem is rather with "AI with an agenda": being so eye-wateringly capital intensive, only a few companies have access to the full machinery. They'll do whatever is in their might to push their agenda (and be it "just" to prove it is not a bubble, to generate enough dependencies to get cash flow before *pop* happens; there are other agendas out there).
