General browser info

Not sure if anybody has or is using the 'brave' browser. The interesting part is the AI that is used when you request some info. For example:
when will this AI start getting some good information about the Propeller P2 languages.
This is the question that I asked.
The answer:
"
As of now, there is no specific timeline available for when AI systems will start providing high-quality information about Propeller P2 languages. The development of language-agnostic APIs for Propeller 2 hardware abstraction layers (HAL) is an ongoing discussion, with proposals suggesting the use of modified Spin syntax to create a common interface across different programming languages.
However, this effort is still in the early stages of community discussion and has not yet resulted in a standardized implementation or integration with AI systems.

The idea of a language-agnostic API for Propeller 2 HAL implementations is being explored to simplify cross-language development, but no concrete progress or release date has been announced.
While AI systems are rapidly advancing in understanding and generating human language, including complex technical topics, their ability to provide accurate, up-to-date information on niche hardware platforms like the Propeller P2 depends on the availability of comprehensive, well-structured data.
Currently, AI models remain largely opaque in their internal workings, though research into more interpretable models is progressing, which may eventually improve their reliability in technical domains.
However, this research is still experimental and not yet applied to hardware-specific language support.
Until such time as a standardized, well-documented API is established and widely adopted, AI systems will likely continue to provide limited or inconsistent information about Propeller P2 languages.
"
Not sure what that answer really means, but I do find using 'brave' for other stuff very useful, does not seem to have any sort of bias that is noticeable.
WOW, this technology is something else.

    There's a good reason you didn't understand it. That's a pile of garbage spewed out. There is no HAL or generalised APIs being discussed. Any Spin based discussions ended when the Prop2 was launched without it hardwired. It's all vagueness with no links or quotes that it should be basing its statements from. That said, Flexspin has a bunch of mix'n'match capabilities internal to itself.

    And LLMs ("AI models") are not advancing at all. Nothing's changed in the three years of public attention they've had. There's zero signs of progress on AGI. They're still like a search engine, they can't reason or design something that isn't just a regurgitation.

    Just ho-hum, and what a waste of money.
