    There are a few bad 1975 trays in GAI holders that have the wrong cardboard tray on back. The backing for 75 trays was used only in 1975 and 1976.

    When I ask the same question googles AI tells me No.

    I'd like to see the pages it's pulling these answers from.

    I've been using AI Gemini (which is what Google's AI is) and for the most part it's amazing! I've done some deep dives into local history (I always wondered as a kid in those pre-Internet Little House on the Prairie days who all those rural roads were named after!) as well as deep dives into baseball card history (for example, AI Gemini was able to tell me for each year of Topps other designs that were considered but didn't make the final cut) but it does sometimes goof, for example, not getting the details regarding what happened in movies or TV show episodes right. I guess as Donatello often said in the 1987-96 TMNT cartoon, AI Gemini still has a few bugs in it!

    These AIs are only as good as the information they're scraping.

    They're not actually thinking about this stuff...

    Are you familiar with the field of interpretability? Thinking isn’t really what the models do - you’re right about that. It’s reasoning based synthesis. It’s interesting. Google’s reasoning model is called Deep Research. Gemini itself is a harness.

    What’s funny to me about these models is that they’re not perfect but they’re so much better than most people. People are so stupid on average.

    They like using terms that make this stuff sound like these servers are thinking. If they say it's acting like a person learning and repeating information, creating a state of whimsy in listeners, it gives them an excuse to scrape information off of peoples web pages and forums. Instead of calling it stealing, they're call it learning.
