As I said, specific criticisms to the content of Chat responses that I posted were always welcome to me but criticism of using and posting such content is against the rules or at least the spirt or the rules of the forum, IMO. It is the equivalent of criticizing the topic itself.

Chat provided a great framework for this discussion, and as I said, I’m not the least afraid of it getting some things wrong when it manages to get most of it right. To me, that is how all sources of information work, including research itself, especially agricultural research, where it is impossible to factor for all the variables in the real world of diverse soils, weather and the nature of different species and varieties within any given species.

The subject of the dangers of this new power is another fascinating topic and deserves to be treated separately. Trees are most beautiful when they are given their own space and not crowded with other trees.

I think part of the tension is that some might think you should lead with a statement “don’t trust AI”. But you probably feel that isn’t necessary because you don’t blindly trust information at face value anyway, even if it comes from a seemingly trustworthy source.

I find it useful to think of the output as “plausible and possibly true insights presented in an organized and efficient way” after putting it through my mental plausibility filter as I read.

For some people I think their plausibility filter is “do I trust the source”.

Thanks for posting, very interesting. I will have to review it again before next spring’s stone fruits begin to develop.
