    Here’s the link for the lazy: https://jmail.world/wiki

    I tried the AI search by the way and it sucked. The ONE thing AI could do spectacularly well is to search through vast troves of documents for relevant terms.

      I think you’re thinking of a search engine, AIs are bad at searching. They just make up a response related to the search term based on their training data.

            You get a lot fewer hallucinations if it’s presenting data from sources rather than from its neural network alone. Training data isn’t, like, “in” the AI. It’s just used to shape its creation.

            Normally no, because that is much more difficult, resource intensive, and harder to get reliable results than separately looking up the information and including it in the prompt.

        And if you train them on the document trove, they will be able to answer questions about it. It is a straight up trivial task.

          Make up answers about it. The answers might be right, or they might be wrong, you won’t know unless you read the actual data. So helpful …

              If we are talking about LLMs, the other commenter is entirely right about how they function. But I’m not sure you two are talking about the same technology.

                Can an LLM provide me the information I want given a search term if trained on the given dataset? Yes. That is all.

                  It can provide you some information that looks similar to what you’d want. Whether it is correct is another question.

                  RAG can help to a degree but hallucinations still happen quite a bit.
