An app is trying to force me into a "free trial" with no mechanism to opt out. I can't complete the desired journey as a result. I do pay for use of the app already. Does anyone know where to report this kind of thing?

Meaningful conversation? Nah

There is something about the empty sincerity of "You're absolutely right!" from LLM's that is really starting to bug me...

"A.I." coding assistants produce better results ("value earned/tokens burned") when you:

* prompt with tests
* work in small feedback cycles with continuous testing, code review, refactoring and integration
* cleanly separate concerns in your code

LOL

Yup. And then subtly changing things that were absolutely intentional.

Or find the minor changes the dev did make and put them back after the LLM keeps removing them
