4. I want to know which AI tool they were using

and how they got such high accuracy, when my luck with using AI on my job (perfectly legit, although I have to be careful to avoid anything proprietary in my prompt), is not quite that good. I often get flat out bullshit stuff in the responses. Although overall I usually get some benefit for the time expended, even if it is just new ideas to explore.

Basically I think I only have access to Copilot on my work pc. Maybe it's time I figured out how to use ChatGPT or Claude. (I'm cheap though and refuse to spend any money)
