That is not the same as this. If you're a multi-PhD holder from Iran who's a world-famous scientist, you can get into e.g. the UK. This would forbid them, purely based on country of origin.

First off, LLMs aren't "smart", they're algorithmic text generators. That doesn't mean it is less useful than a human who produces the same text, but it is not getting to said text in the same way (it's not &#x

This reads like a joke, but I've known two DBAs who don't use database management tools beyond exporting whole tables to excel, making manual changes, and importing to update the tables. Scary stuff.
