Next time you need to do something on your car and you're wondering if a little bit of input from the world might broaden your understanding, try a Google search. I don't fully get it yet. It seems most of the time it defaults to an AI response and below that you have the old-fashioned type search results.

I have found some excellent advice and often is not towards the end. They'll say, according to PeachParts, this that and such and such. It seems as though they have finally cracked how to search the archive of our fine establishment. Maybe I'm an ignorant fool, but say I want to do a search on "parking brake" and even if I use the plus operator (that word similar to but different from operand I learned recently) I will still get search results using one or the other word only. AI seems to cut through it pretty quick. At its best it's coming across like good search only quicker. But I don't want to let my guard down and be stupid. Sort of the way students used to be stupid with the calculators, they didn't know how to recognize a wildly incorrect answer.
