The article mentions more research is needed to confirm if the effect is long-lasting, but personally I'm happy someone may have found a good, practical usecase for LLMs.

Here's a link to the chatbot. It's pretty good at explaining things and has a lot of patience for the hopeless drivel conspiracy theories contain. I like how it doesn't just refute them with specific evidence, but tears apart the very logic of the conspiracy theories.
