This story lives in my head forever as a perfect example of everything pointing to a theoretical answer but reality not caring.

The term for the material removed to make a cut is kerf. You hear about it a lot with woodworking as not taking into account can lead to inaccuracies in the final dimensions of your materials.
I would think separating a material by passing another through it is cutting while separating materials with only force would be breaking if it happens along a length or tearing of it happens gradually from a single point.
So far it's a glorified search engine, which it is mildly competent at. It just speeds up collecting the information I would anyways and then I can get to sorting useful from useless faster.
That said, I've seen emails from people that were written with AI and it instantly makes me less likely to take it seriously. Just tell me what the end goal is and we can discuss how to best get there instead is regurgitating some slop that wouldn't get is there in the first place!
Is there a "they did the math" community here yet?
Cleaning, organizing, and documentation are high priorities.
Every job I've worked at has had mountains of "The last guy didn't..." that you walk into and it's always a huge pain in the ass. They didn't throw out useless things, they didn't bother consolidating storage rooms, and they never wrote down any of their processes, procedures, or rationals. I've spent many hours at each job just detangling messes because the other person was to busy or thought it unimportant and didn't bother to spend the time.
Make it a priority, allocate the time, and think long-term.
