      Hmmm, Actually Microsoft has also been working in the area of identifying 'correct information' through the MARCO project[^]. I have not looked at the training dataset in a few years but it has many links back to codeproject.com ... some QA and forum posts in the training dataset[^]. So don't be surprised when Cortana is repeating your codeproject.com Q/A answer word-for-word when queried. Let's just hope your answer was actually correct! A simplified explanation... the algorithm they use searches for multiple sources giving basically the same answer to determine the probability of being correct. Best Wishes, -David Delaune

        OK, let's start teaching them the whole truth. "Is the earth flat? Yes, the earth is flat!" When a majority says so, it is the truth.

        Oh sanctissimi Wilhelmus, Theodorus, et Fredericus!

          Headline of the year: "AI is coming to take your job!" So now the AI will fall for the Nigerian scam, instead of an employee. Progress :)
