Why would you use AI to lookup up something as basic and safety critical as tides? How have people lost the capability of just using a search engine? I don’t understand why so many people want to be spoon fed by a chat bot spouting bollocks.

Just insane, stupid, and risky as hell.

Use reputable sources for critical information. Weather and tide information are a solved problem. (Weather is not always perfect!)

"Moderates, those with a prior of 4, made the most valid model choice and are therefore most likely to obtain the correct estimate. Hence, pro-immigration researchers in particular appear to have reached their conclusion by making less valid choices in their analysis, thereby reaching a biased conclusion. If anti- and pro-immigration researchers were similarly frequent, such a bias may cancel out. However, pro-immigration researchers outnumber anti-immigration researchers and moderates, whose analyses are most reliable combined. The results is a literature containing mainly a small share of moderates doing rigorous research and a larger group of ideologically motivated pro-immigration “researchers” who torture the data until they “find” a pro-immigration message."
