[ExI] Can AI make sense of things?

[Ben Zaiboc]

Ha, this already seems to work. At least half-way, anyway.

I came across a phrase, "surfacing counter-authority with provenance" in that Stanford article, and used a search engine to see if I could find out what it means, and the only useable result I got was from an AI Search Assistant, which explained what it's supposed to mean:

"Surfacing counter-authority with provenance" refers to the practice of highlighting alternative sources of information or authority, along with their origins and credibility. This approach is often used to ensure that users can evaluate the reliability of different viewpoints or data.

So basically, "fact-checking minority views".

A browser extension which could do this, and translate ridiculous phrases like that into their plain-language equivalent, would be brilliant. As long as it was reliable, and didn't come up with just more bafflegab (so probably not feasible just yet).
