> AI is impressive

Ok, but Google's result summary got the answer wrong. So did Gemini, when I tried it (Lion, Sierra Leone). And so did ChatGPT when I tried it (Lion, Sri Lanka).

So... it's impressive, sure, because the author is correct that a search engine can't answer that question in a single query. But it's also wildly wrong.

I also vaguely agree with the author that Google Drive sucks, but I wish they'd mentioned that the solution to their problem - using search! - also fucking sucks in Google Drive.

I saw a quote somewhere to the effect of “LLMs are lossy compression of the internet” and it seemed about right.
