    I’ve been doing exactly the same thing with LLMs recently.

    "Tell me about "
    “What are the big problems their industry is trying to solve?”
    “Who are their biggest competitors?”
    “What’s the worst/best thing about them?”

    Questions like that often give me a great framework to look up specific questions, find relevant articles and get a handle on the sources that are likely to be useful.

        Very careful. I never use anything from them directly. I just use them to give me a starting point on what to look for.

        For example, if the AI tells me that some company is know for their low latency database, I’ll look around for primary sources on the latency of the database compared to other vendors. I’ll also look for evidence to the contrary.
