I agree with AI being useful for exactly the type of usecase you're thinking. Though I do want to point out a major flaw with trust in this specific harness. It got censored overnight.

Last night you could literally query and get factual information about election results; but today it wont even tell you who the president was in 2000.

There's a major censorship issue here.

It has no problem saying who was president and who won the 2020 election. I just tried it.

That's lovely, I have screenshots of different behavior this morning. They undid it. This is hilarious. I retried right now and it's saying Biden won the 2020 election again.
