I had not heard of them until yesterday but as any business that has the capacity to cause major US technology firms to have billions wiped off their values in a day must have something about them I took a look.

Finding them, and using their app took 30 seconds. It works like ChatGPT.

I asked a series of questions on subjects I am familiar with, so I could determine the quality of the response.

It was very fast, accurate, well structured and written in extremely good English. Not a hint of its origin being Chinese. So far so good.

Then I asked it to critique politics in China. It gave me another very clear and full answer, objectively accurate with both positive and negative aspects included. Its record on human rights was covered and criticised.

Then something funny happened. After perhaps a minute it disappeared and was replaced by a simple message that the answer to my question was beyond the system’s current capacity.

Hmmm!

The system was probably trying to find any human rights that the UK has.

It's already cost a few folk quite a lot of money.

It knew that no matter what it said, you would be right.

What worries me is what ability using the app has on your security. For instances does it have the ability to track your usage of other apps, your financial transactions? On the other hand if it will tell me the best way to buy flights to Oz to see May family I may take the risk.
