What a terrible world we're barrelling towards when "LLMs don't know about it" is considered a blocker towards something taking off. Read a blog post, read a man page (which GP says was indeed their solution), or just play with the dang tool, I assure you these things are still possible without the assistance of a predictive text engine helping you!

Just get the thing you need now, there's no promise the grass is getting any greener, nor that you're any better off waiting. Maybe the LLM won't learn for 6 months. Or 12 months. Or maybe the AI company will run out of money, or jack up their prices to where you're not using it anymore, or whatever.
