Debate a counselor

Take a position on Designing Systems That Use AI APIs. The AI counselor argues the other side, asks you questions back, and cites a source for every fact it states. Sources listed under a reply are the pages it actually found; if none are listed, it is arguing from reasoning only. It is an AI and it can be wrong: check the sources.
