I'll believe that when ChatGPT stops making up APIs that have never ever existed in the history of a library. The dumbest intern doesn't do that. Which is the entire point of the article that your comment fail to address.

And what if Apple is not up 40% this year? Apple was down 24% during Dec 2021-Dec 2022. It could have happened this year, could happen next year. Nobody knows. By comparison, VOO was down 18% during that period. If you put money in Treasury

Well, you see, while the original comment says they could play at 5x speed, it does not say it plays at that speed well or play it beautifully. Any teacher or any student who learned piano for a while will tell you that this matters a lot
