You said revolution, that’s barely incremental. If you had googled “apartment electricity usage calculator” you would find many options that provide exactly the information you want without risk of hallucination.
Did you deliberately screw up the capitalization so thoroughly that it bears no resemblance to the standard abbreviations? Are you one of those people who writes about "mb" and "kb" for computers, too?

I think it’s unlikely they made that typo deliberately. Similarly, I don’t think you were intentional in misspelling miscapitalization, I figured it was an honest mistake.
Is this deliberate miscapitalization thing a behavior you often encounter?
Google was the previous revolution. AI is the next. I get info from LLMs way better than I generally got from Google, at least for some large subset of things I used to try to get from Google.

Did you mean: Google?
An example from last night. If I Google “how much is 7KwH”, I get a list of calculator websites for converting units.
If I ask an LLM, it tells me “your usage is pretty low for an apartment, good job!”
The latter is exactly the question I had in mind. Not even close.

Obviously, LLMs are quite tolerant of typos, and even ignore mis-capitalization, or it may have at least tried to correct your improper usages.

No, they’re talking about LLMs - they’re a different technology from search engines.
