   I resort to the AI, when there is too much irrelevant stuff coming   
   back in Google. Only if the search is working, can I make progress   
   on finding some sort of recipe.   
      
   When you give it hard problems, it fails spectacularly.   
      
   I asked it to draw a schematic diagram of a certain PRNG (random   
   number generator). The screen said "thinking". And "almost done".   
   It must have taken a minute, and... it started drawing a picture,   
   bit by bit. (Unlike other times where the picture appears   
   in an instant, fully finished.) And the diagram has maybe eight   
   gate symbols and is a complete and utter flop :-) The real circuit   
   might have 19000 elements.   
      
   But, if you talk to it, it picks itself up and dusts itself off.   
   Unlike a human who might get discouraged.
