I continue to be fascinated by the phenomenon whereby an expert engages with any of the LLMs on their field of expertise and is instantly horrified by the wrong answers, and then goes on to use it for things they are not experts in as though it wonβt be just as bad for those.

You realise you should be outside. As you sip your perfect coffee, in your perfect kitchen, in your clean pyjamas, you rapidly grow certain you should really be outside, out in the spring air, out basking in the early morning sun.
