We offer 40% off discounts if students/researchers recommend us to their university (we prefer they pay anyways). With the discount, it is 9 dollars a month. Without 20 if you pay monthly or 16 if you pay annually.

Look interesting but the monthly cost is on the high side

I was being very mature and typed in studies about pussy and there's where I learned that there's a flower called Pussy willow .
Just beautiful.

It returns abstracts as well as snippets. There is research showing the benefits of "citances" in understanding: https://scite.ai/search?mode=question-answering&q=Do%20citances%20help%20with%20understanding%3F

And there are already resources that gets exactly this information. I know my mom uses something for this in clinical research.

So it is safer to hide the information and only return titles? Do you view full-text search as harmful? Do you advocate for paywalls to keep the public out? Do you have the same issues with Google Scholar that shows excerpts? These excerpts are not standalone, they are linked directly to the full-text articles.
Seems as if you are portraying this as something that is not. It's a discovery engine where you can search using boolean operators or ask questions. The results are peer-reviewed articled titles, excerpts, and abstracts. I fundamentally disagree that that is somehow harmful to understanding or critical thinking. It makes research more accessible.

It kinda works! Question:
>What is the best beer in UK?
3rd result:
>Shit happens, but you have a job to do
>The Horse and Groom is a friendly Cotswolds country pub that has consistently won UK 'best public house' awards since 2009.
1rst result was "The introduction of the concept of dementia praecox into Spain, 1902—19" though.

The excerpts are taken directly from research articles, they are not generated by AI. How does this "hand the reins of understanding to a computer"? How does surfacing excerpts and abstracts based on a search or a question worse than just returning titles?
Moreover, with each answer, there are citations so you can see how and why that article returned has been cited. We aim to increase critical thinking by surfacing conversations amongst papers, not just a list of citations we all treat equally.

I disagree with your harsh assessment and really your tone. We show citation context, which makes it easy to see how and why a paper has been cited in the literature, including if it has been supported or contrasted by other studies.
With scite, you can see if a paper has been supported/challenged.
Without scite, you only see a list of citing articles.
How does that streamline confirmation bias?

Since it's an actively harmful app with a core purpose to subvert critical review of scientific papers and only pull decontextualized snippets, the best thing you could do would be take it down.
This is a tool that is designed only to streamline confirmation bias.

You can also do a keyword-based search, which can be a lot more comprehensive and in many cases will be better. If you can share the questions where it didn't work well, that would help us make improvements.
