3rd post in, and you've derailed it. We usually wait until post 25 or so.

This is relevant though, as I used Grok for the first time last night and ended up staying up until 1am because it was so useful.

"What are the most beautiful, low maintenance deciduous trees that thrive in the PNW?"

Grok delivered the goods in a tidy summary describing why people find the tree beautiful, what USDA zone it's best adapted to, water and drainage needs, and ease of maintenance.

Each question remembered proceeding questions in context of previous ones. "What USDA zone is Silverton Oregon?" Silverton, Oregon, is located in USDA Hardiness Zone 8b. "What are the most beautiful low maintenance bushes and shrubbery that thrive in the PNW"... All are suited to Zone 8b...

The more specific the criteria, and the more specific each criteria is weighted, the more specific the answers Grok delivers.

I asked if white interior paint looks good considering a white ceiling and white trim. Grok said yes, suggested the LRI spread (light reflectivity index) to provide necessary contrast, and then said it would make the cherry floors pop, info it assumed from a previous question, but not provided in this specific question. Questions about paint colors don't return vague "grey" as an answer, but names specific colors by various manufacturers.
