What people say
“While I agree most of this seems to go too far I do like the idea of the Socratic mode with State-Challenge-Reflect reflection.”
“Academic skills are a vector for cite injection.”
“The site opens with how it keeps humans in the loop, but when you continue reading it seems almost a full automation feature.”
