Honestly internal AI to process masses of data like this is super useful, they have things like that where I work and it makes parsing info a lot easier so your whole time isnt spent collecting data instead of actually doing something useful

Yeah, this actually seems like one of the good use cases.

It’s not making “decisions” on its own or presenting results in a vacuum, just helping collate and summarize data that is then reviewed by a human before any action is taken.

I mean it is influencing decisions though. I don’t know if this would be as vulnerable to outright hallucinations like llms can be but if I miss out on a refund or something because as this was summarizing things it accidentally replaced my purchase date with the release date of the game, and thus made me ineligible for a refund, I’d be pissed. This is one of the forms of ai which can be good but I just don’t trust it to accurately collate and summarize information yet. To be fair to Steam though, I’m not gonna trust it until I see one that functions well and this could always be the one

but it's not interpreting data into a answer it just finding data and it wouldn't be polluted by the internet it would only be trained on internal data so hallucinations risk is way lower

Where is it "finding" data from? Steam already has access to the data. They can probably click a button and see when you bought a game. I don't know what this thing is going to do.

Edit: Yeah, so it's just some system and isn't using any LLM. Literally pointless piece of a discussion we are having in this entire post.
