Would it make the internet better? Probably.

    If you’re following citations, may as well just search for the citations themselves… aka just a regular search engine.

      Yes but the power of it is that you can in effect refine your search using natural language, like talking to a person, as it remembers the last 2-3 exchanges.

      And it presents the information the way you asked to see it.

      For example (my side of the “conversation”):

      • What is hamas?
      • Compared to Hezbollah?
      • what are the differences between Shia and Sunni?

      The citations confirm the information, they are not the end goal. The added value is the fact that the information is pre-digested and presented in a way that matches my learning process. It’s a lot easier for me to assimilate information by getting answers to questions that I’ve asked.
