#142It would be so cool to be able to save a delve exploration to a set of linked Markdown files that you can open in a local wiki app.

#145This is very good. I can't put my finger on it, but it seems more important than a mere "gimmick." I noticed that if you click on a topic already explored, it won't open again. That's cool, I'd make it snap back to the pane where it's open. Kudos! This is an interesting perspective on how we really need to put a little more effort into the UX of LLMs.
But the problem, as far as I can tell, is that it's inviting someone to explore what's bad about LLMs (or what LLMs are bad at).
IE, LLMs are useful for doing things an individual could do but doesn't really want to. I have one friend who uses ChatGPT for boiler plate nondiscrimination policies and another who uses it for random villain descriptions and it's famous for boiler plate code.
But using LLMs for discovering new specific things (this app's seeming purpose) seems like a recipe for disaster. For example, I started looking at counterfeit bolts and ended up with the thing hallucinating an instance of "sword net" (real) that in 2018 targeted counterfeit fasteners (no refs on Google, Brave or DuckDuckBing) with the slogan "Secure the Foundation, Eliminate the Fake" (no refs similarly).
Edit: obviously, the system is confusing counterfeits generally with counterfeit fasterners (a more specialized issue, having less to do with intellectual property as such). But if drill distinctions like this are inevitable and this is what makes LLMs actually not useful for this sort of exploration.

#150This adds a lot more barriers to knowledge exploration (and the GPT is likely trained on Wikipedia anyways) and doesn't provide sources.
