That seems more like a polite way to say no than genuine advice.

What book? You couldn't find it on Anna's archive?

AI is like Wikipedia, useful but a flawed enough source that you should treat it only as a first step.

Personally, I really don't like AI as an information tool except as a search agent to supplement search engines. There's a reason Wikipedia requires citation, no one should trust information they can't determine the provenance of.

It's not *that* different to what was told to neophytes before which was to "do your research and look it up" on various forums or guides written by others. Reddit was usually the place to start. You know back in the day, reddit subreddits had a wiki function. That's where I first solidified my private tracker knowledge. AI is just an easier way to collate that information.
