Often OSS is used not because you want the software, but the software and the upkeep. So even with such a service, you're now just taking code in-house that you have to maintain as well.

The other fun ones are daily recurring events for e.g. taking some medication. You take the last one at 10pm before going to bed. You go on a trip which moves you three hours east. Now your calendar helpfully reminds you to take your meds a

Where I live right now, there is no washing of cars as it's -5F. I can want as much as I like. If I'd go to the car wash, it'd be to say hi to Jimmy my friend who lives there. --- My car is a Lambo. I only hand wash it since

The other funny thing is thinking that the answer the llm produces is wrong. It is not, it is entirely correct. The question: > I want to wash my car. The car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive? The question is non-sensical.
