What I'm hearing is that if you are dealing with something that matters to you a lot, you should avoid relying on LLMs.

I don't know. Have Congress and Senate always been this ineffective? I don't remember Obama, Biden or even Trump 45 act with this much impunity. I obviously can't go further back because I have been here since Obama's se
