У барда я спрашивал

Q. Who said you can get more with a kind word and a gun than you can with a kind word?

A. The quote "You can get more with a kind word and a gun than you can with a kind word" is often attributed to Al Capone, but there is no definitive proof that he said it. The quote first appeared in print in 1930, in a book by journalist and crime writer Fred Pasley called "Al Capone: The Biography of a Self-Made Man." Pasley did not attribute the quote to anyone, and it is possible that he made it up.

В целом похоже на умный интерфейс к поисковой системе.

Хотелось бы. А то поиск Гугеля (если речь идет не о товарах, а о знаниях и понятиях) как-то не поражает особой релевантностью. За всё отдувается Википедия.

Гуглы свою искалку еще в начале века сломали. А недавно еще и почту. Думаю, и с LLM справятся.

Nope.

Quote Investigator: QI has found no substantive evidence that Al Capone made a remark of this type. The earliest citations suggest that the line was created by a comedian named Professor Irwin Corey who performed as an eccentric academic spouting parodic erudition.

In 1953 the trade journal “Variety” published a transcript of an NBC radio broadcast presenting a “survey of humor, down through the ages”. Corey appeared as a comical Hamlet-like character. Emphasis added by QI:[1]

I have a simple philosophy which is poignant. Shoot a point, point blank, unsubtle, simple, poignant. My philosophy is you can get more with a kind word and a gun than with just a kind word.

Corey’s linkage of the quip to Hamlet was odd because within Shakespeare’s play Hamlet wields a sword and not a gun. However, by 1969 Corey had heightened the humor of the line by attaching the words to Al Capone.
