Or just using a traditional search engine and "rag" plus literally any ML/AI/LLM term will yield a half dozen results at the top with "Retrieval-augmented generation" in the page title.

Or people could just not use obscure acronyms when discussing specialised topics on an open forum?
Where do you draw the line though?
Or if GGP can't think of an AI-related term they can use HN search. Searching 'rag' shows the term on the first page of results:

Searching for "RAG" on Kagi and Google give some AI-related results fairly high up, including results that explain it and say what it stands for.
Right? How does someone who browses this forum not know how to find knowledge online?
What percentage of people could you fool if you told them it was AI and replayed standard search results but with the "karaoke-like" prompt that highlights each word (as if we're 2nd graders in Special Ed learning how to string more than 2 sentences together)
