I feel bad for laughing a little, some of those stories are WILD. I have asked LLMs about a great many things, including advice, but always under the knowledge "it's a text predictor" and nothing more. It's really sycophantic, but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't somewhat helpful.

I guess it is much more important to have that distinction than I thought. It's just software and as the saying goes: don't trust, verify.

slightly more accurate magic 8 balls, but apparently more convincing to some!
