@RegGuy I know they have their own index and their own finetunes apparently. What a lot of the AI folks are missing is that when you require users to ask in full sentences, you're not "freeing" them. Instead, you're forcing them to define what they want in more detail, and that very act of defining causes people to narrow down and focus, often in ways that are not helpful. I'm thinking of how a lot of the stuff in "How to ask questions the smart way?" (www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html) mostly involves getting people to stop asking the wrong questions entirely. I just kind of vaguely know I wanna know stuff about "rclone caching"; when I'm doing a search like that, I'm not even quite sure what exactly I want to know, yet. Does rclone caching exist? How does it work? Are there settings? Can I turn it on and off? I'm not ready to define the questions, because I know nothing about the thing.
