I think i've only once flat out told one it was wrong about a specific assertion I quoted and it immediately was able to find its way to what I knew to be the correct claim.

I just wonder what would happen if i was in fact mistaken and I told it confidently it was wrong without elaborating

It does sometimes provide a procedure in troubleshooting. As internet gets clogged under bloat, and you haven't done anything like that before, it's not the worst idea to give you starting points to think about. It's best used with combination of other sources.

Deepseek was useful in explaining me in finding out where can I find information for car rims (CoC it was my first time looking for such thing) and how to get the correct nuts... it was honestly more useful than a human agent from one of the shops... who wanted all the documentation I had on the car before even hearing the question, which felt a tad excessive, considering their field of work.

I asked Rufus on amazon DE, if this hub requires a purchase of separate supply to work. It answered no, ofc it did.

With the push towards AI and no one seemingly willing to answer questions or even explaining real alternatives in person, I'm only left with a question what is a person supposed to do? Re-buy or relay on services that either overcharge or they send you to their competitor because they deemed the problem of too little value to solve?
