#3I don't like the framing of 'learn something new' because you are very likely to have falsehoods presented to you as reliable facts.
Its fun to ask Marie Curie what she thinks about blockchains, but anything you ask about her own life and work is just as likely to be fiction as whatever she says about blockchains.

#4This is not "talk to historic figures", this sounds like "talk to a machine that writes stylised after historic figures". I highly doubt Shakespeare spoke in sonnets.

You’re about to get ragged on because you posted this to a site full of people who know the limitations of your technology.
But that said, assuming this was a low-cost/low-risk demo project for your firm, it’s a classic entry in building a little carriage store on the gold rush routes. People (but not HN people) are looking for stuff like this and will have fun with it. It’ll help people better understand the limitations of the technology themselves. If all goes well, you’ll make a little money entertaining curious people and then it’ll dry up. It’s good work as that.

#8This is probably how children in the future will study. It's much easier to forget what one reads in books than to forget 1-1 conversations with people. Just add deepfake video/audio and VR/AR as well.

honestly, the $20/month subscription fee made me raise an eyebrow, especially considering that the likely implementation is "add a prompt that took 5 seconds to write and 20 seconds to tweak to the top of every request".
