    I refuse to believe that it’s in any way better or faster at unit and currency conversion than plain Google or DuckDuckGo. Literally type “100 EUR to USD” and you’ll get an almost instant answer. Same with units: “100 feet to meters”.

    And if you’re using it, you’re helping their business. It’s as simple as that.

      100%. Unit conversion is a solved problem, and it is impossible for an AI to be faster or more accurate than any of the existing converters.

      I do not need an AI calculator, because I have no desire to need to double check my calculator.

        Well spotted. I retract my notion that unit conversion was convenient. Clearly I should have switched to another tab to do the thing that is solved.
