Is there a model you prefer? I've been throwing the exact same question to different models and they seem to all give a very similar answer.

Also, how is it getting certain information if it's all offline? For example, I asked it to recommend some bike products, and gave very specific brands and models.

Trinity stood out the most to me, it seems to have less unnecessary fluff

Train it online. Use it offline.

That's crazy impressive, though. I've been playing with it more, and it's very specific about certain things. I guess you can hold a lot of data in the GB of space these models use.

Agree, no small feat. Two caveats tho:

These models prioritize plausibility above factual correctness. So verification often is needed.
Data from after the creation of trainingmaterial is absent of course.

100% I was telling my wife that anyone who knows about a subject, can easily point out the inaccuracies with the output from any of the models.

But if you don't know about a subject, the AI gives you an answer that seems like it could be right. Scary to see where this technology takes us, especially when the majority easily digests information without verifying any of it.
