            I don’t trust it as far as I can throw it for things I am uninformed on and I do not think any of these AI models are going to change the world the way people are hoping. However, as a tool for saving time I think they’re great. Prompted properly of topics you are able to audit for accuracy and I’ll let them do all the tasks in the world lol. I’ll admit I felt guilty as fuck as soon as I saw you call me out on it lol but for how spot on you were I had to give you the credit and confirmation you were 100% accurate 🍻
