Exactly. I don't think LLMs are fully there yet, but that shouldn't stop us from taking advantage of the limited things they already do well.

Exactly. That's why I said I'm not taking it seriously. LLMs tend to always agree with you (i.e. your prompt). I don't have the exact prompt handy but it was something like I read the following article and found that th

This is amazing, yet frightening because I'm sure someone will actually attempt to use it. It's like vibe coding on steroids. - Each time you import a module, the LLM generates fresh code - You get more varied and often

By this logic you can't let it sit for 2 mins after you add the cold milk either, so both options are invalid. In math/science questions some things are assumed to be (practically impossibly) instant.
