I have, it got stuck, and the little it did generate used some pretty terrible sources

Like:

- An announcement about a seminar relating to the subject

- A poorly written blog post by some company (numerous spelling mistakes, poor grammar and factual errors)

- A link to a store page for buying a book relating to the subject (a book that hasn't even been published yet)

I just realized – that you are looking at the draft, not the edited version.

The entire article is edited after the initial draft is written out.

Good feedback. Didn't think that many people will look at this first paragraph is indicative of the final result. Will think how to reflect that in the UI.

Product has been updated to reflect this.

Just migrated to Google Cloud last night. Still ironing out some details. Will check what broke there.

RE terrible sources, the sources are chosen based on what Google identifies to be credible sources. I am aware that some of the sources Google chooses as the source of truth are not great though. I've not found a good way to filter them out.

Out of curiosity. Which source in particular stood out as low-quality?
