I’m not uploading PDFs at all. I’m talking about PDFs it finds while searching than it extracts data from for the conversation.

I'm surprised to hear anyone finds these models trustworthy for research.

Just today I asked Claude what year over year inflation was and it gave me 2023 to 2024.

I also thought some sites ban A.I. crawling so if they have the best source on a topic, you won't get it.

I'm sorry but I don't see what "knowledge cutoff" has to do with what we were talking about- which is using a LLM find PDFs and other sources for research.
