I did some questioning of the AI assistant. Here are the questions I posed to it. Some of the answers are reasonable, some are health and safety guidance that are not neutral and I assume Safecast would not want to recommend.
The NYC data is circa 2022 which is misleading when one opens the map. I assume this is a common issue throughout the worldwide map. Worst case is there could be elevated levels occurring but the map contradicts what is happening in real time. There should be some notification to the user on the age of the data and a filter to suppress old data.

[10:31 PM]Related to the age of the data, the map loads the entire database after spawning the map. That seems unnecessary and it bogs down the map.
