Indeed for casual googling on subjects you know nothing about then it can be a
time saver but it can also be misleading partly due to all the non sense out
there (including Googles AI overview) like all seed oils are bad for you (Canola
is healthier than Olive Oil) as well as the probabilistic factor of a
dynamically weighted graph data structure (neural net).

I have found notebooklm to be really good as most hallucinations can be rid of
by grounding it in good source material. The podcast generator is also
impressive. AI is certainly way over hyped of course.

Yes and no. Ada always had many OO features but to be seen as being oriented
capable then a language really needs is-a inheritance and not has-a. Overriding
perhaps without recompiling is another question that Ada provides for. Adas
interfaces avoid the diamond problem but some would say you need that to be
"full". Others would say Go has OO as one of it's authors suggested, which
really isn't true.
