       | something be wrong 10% of the time is extremely tedious. It's got
       | its uses but I think people are going to choose quality over
       | quantity in a lot more cases than we first thought.

       | It is quite clear that the AI bros and grifters have squeezed the
       | LLM hype to the point where any serious use-cases outside of
       | summarization have just been untrustworthy to the users and
       | relies on triple checking the output.
       | 
       | Summarization has proven to be the most reliable use case and
       | everything else is useful as a bullshit machine packaged as a
       | snake-oil product.

       | It's 2023 and by each passing day, models are getting outdated.
       | 
       | How do they know how much gets outdated every day? And what kind
       | of and what exact training data as a "patch" would be required to
       | keep the "accuracy" on the higher side.
       | 
       | Seems like no one knows. These for now are expensive
       | computational toys.
