Fernando Simon : 23ai, Zero-Downtime Oracle Grid Infrastructure Patching – GOLD IMAGE
As you know, the 23ai was released for Cloud and Engineered Systems (Exadata and ExaCC) first, I already explored these in previous posts as well.

With this additional content, hallucinations can be reduced and much more accurate answers could be retrieved.
