 I just read an article on Mercola.com about a new AI, Perplexity.ai, that does some things differently to try to prevent the hallucinations and lies that some of the  AI tell.  It also gives every answer with sources, so you can verify the information.  It also recommends additional, related topics to investigate.

I had just written an article on God's definition of marriage, so I asked it, "What does the Bible say about the purpose and design of marriage?"  I was really impressed with its answer and the suggested follow up questions.

Although I would never trust AI to give me the perfect answer to a spiritual question, this one worked well enough, it could be useful for research or getting started on an idea.
