Nice! I got a bit enthusiastic about this: "Modern large language models are powerful but often slow to use and lack information about current events."

One of my first questions was "What is the most important thing that happened yesterday?" and I got as an answer "The most important thing that happened yesterday was President Biden holding his first press conference since taking office."

So I guess there is still work to do... Still impressive

One thing to understand that your query is sent verbatim to the search engine and "What is the most important thing that happened yesterday?" is not a really good search query..

In fact there are almost no search queries that will capture this properly (you would go to news and sort enable a date range filter to yesterday). So this it actually not the model failure but a search "failure" in this case.

Impressive! I asked, "How did oral argument go in that home equity theft case?" The case, Tyler, was argued in the Supreme Court yesterday. The response, while brief, lines up with my read of the transcript: The oral argument in the Supreme Court case Tyler v. Hennepin County indicated that the justices were likely to rule in favor of the homeowner's property rights. Several justices expressed skepticism about the co…

You're GPT famous now. The response as of Apr 28, 2023:

Oral argument indicates property rights likely to prevail in that home equity theft case.

The Supreme Court seemed sympathetic to the homeowner Geraldine Tyler in her dispute over Hennepin County seizing her home. The case is the last oral argument of the Supreme Court's term.

Was not supposed to be public, we just let it out for select users today... Feel free to try again tomorrow.

I'm really impressed with the quality of the output- backing it with search results seems to do a lot of good relative to ChatGPT's straight-up hallucinations.

How does it decide what search queries to run and which results to use? Any chance you could append the top sources to the output, maybe even highlight which claims are based on which sources?

Following that thread of thought, I'd love to be able to filter out commercial websites and blogspam as sources, or limit it to scientific publications and .edu/gov domains.

Nonetheless, this is a damn promising line of R&D.
