    The AI questions and answers that almost never seem to be answering the question in my search.

    Q: Best tool for removing a nail

    A: The most common tool used to take out nails is a hammer!

    No, Google. I fucking know what hammers are. I’m asking you for NAIL PULLERS. JESUS CHRIST.

      Though in your particular example I’m reasonably confident that the tool most people use to remove nails is indeed the claw on the back of their hammer. Where it fucked up was that you asked for the best, not the most common.

        Yes, true. But the point is it never actually seems to read what I’m actually asking. The generated question will be what I want, but then the result it reveals may practically be the opposite.

        What happened to all those random blog posts by tool nerds listing the most useful demolition tools? I know they’re out there. Somewhere…

      You know what the claw end of the hammer is for right?

      Actually 2 hammers are really good to take out a nail sometimes. You use one hammer to tap the claw of the other one under the nail.

      Honestly I have a cat paw type nail puller but 9/10 hammer is the answer.

        I was demoing at the time, and framing nails can be a bitch and a half to get out, plus they were quite well sunk. Hammer claw wasn’t cutting it.
