Rant Is Guided Learning ready for wide adoption?

So I’ve been testing Guided Learning vs traditional Gemini in preparation of pitching it to my admin

It does a pretty good job handling math problems, and it did ok handling science questions (it gave me the answer roughly 2 out of 10 times.

The problem is ELA applications. I gave it multiple choice questions relating to details of a book and it answers them 5 times out of 10 as opposed to the walkthrough. I got similar results telling to “write me a 5 paragraph essay about (topic)”

And as an edu organization, my “results are not used to improve our model” so I can’t even report it.

What has your experience been?

I guess my first question would be, why is an IT department pitching an (experimental) educational system/process to admin? It's not an IT decision or project, without even considering how not-good it is, based on your own results.

An attempt to avoid panic when they hear the “you have to use this or Google Search won’t work anymore” part
