       | It regrettably makes sense: Nowadays a lot of people are instead
       | asking an LLM chatbot to "collaborate." It may be inferior to a
       | coworker--perhaps dangerously subtly so--but you can invoke it at
       | any time which is convenient.

       | now, but we gave up after a few sessions.
