Oh, no, I've heard it, I'm just skeptical of their accuracy and reliability, and that skepticism has been borne out by the numerous reports of glitching ("hallucinations" as they insist on calling them, in furtherance of their inappropriate personification of the technology). Moreover, I've found their mass theft of others' work to further call into question the creators' trustworthiness, which has only been compounded by their overselling of their technology's capabilities while simultaneously suggesting it's just untenable to log & cite all the sources that they push into it.
It can supposedly do all you describe, but it can't effectively credit its sources? It can tutor but it can't even keep basic information straight? Please. It's impressive technology, but it's being overblown because the markets favor exaggeration to facts, at least as long as people can be kept enamored with the fantasy they spin.
With all that silicon valley, it'll probably be pushed more to do those things regardless of its hallucinations and accuracy lol.
