John Pryce likes to open the hood. His posts explain what an AI assistant actually does between your buyer's question and the three names it gives back, in language that doesn't require an engineering degree. He tests claims against live answers before repeating them and links his sources, because that's what he'd want from anyone explaining his livelihood to him.
