General Discussion

I'll give you an example of when I regularly use it: at the plant nursery when I'm picking out plants for the yard/garden. I see the scientific name on a plant I'm thinking of getting and I ask it to give me the rundown on it, how is it likely to do in (spot where I'm thinking of putting it, how much shade there is there, is it near a wall that'll reflect heat, in Phoenix, etc), how big will it get, show my some pictures of a full-grown version. And I just say "okay google, tell me about the plant caesalpinia mexicana, how will that do 2 feet from a southern-facing wall in Phoenix, and how big will it get" and it just talks back and gives me the run-down. You might say "you could google all that" and that's true, but a) I just want a quick answer, and b) AI talks, so I don't have to struggle to read a phone screen outside. I have a hard enough time reading text on my phone cause my eyes suck, let alone doing it outside.

Relying on it for important things it's not qualified to do is a whole other matter, like the case at hand here. The life and death of a nursery shrub is a lot less important than human health.
