Also my experience. Some good uses but, so far, LLMs net effect on my life personally has been negative, due to their detrimental effect on student writing and my broader cultural world. The hate and disdain for LLMs on this website can slip into the absurd... but, like, ground truth is they're bad.

Trumpโ€™s had four shutdowns in five years - itโ€™s less a presidency and more like a reboot cycle.

So who filmed this and how. Was it also on a surf board? Cause that makes it like Ginger Rodgers to her Fred Astaire - everything Fred did, only backwards and in high heels. Impressive on both their parts.

Ending a sentence with a preposition is not something I have a problem with.

Pro-Tip: On those occasions when one must stand on formality, one can always sidestep the issue by appending an epithet after the preposition. As in:

โ€œEnding a sentence with a preposition is not something I have a problem with, bitches.โ€
