I knew a guy who worked on the line at Hormel. The end of the line. His job was to stand by the conveyor belt and find anything that looked salvageable/edible, and direct into a hole at the end of the conveyor. He didn't know where that hole went

Validate against what? If you're validating the responses against some other source why not use that source in the first place?

Have you ever nibbled around the edges so you get just the little bits of ribbed dark chocolate, before devouring the peanut butter center? No? Just me?

I have, and they are. The only problem is they come in a package size that is bad for my diabetes. That whole thing is going down in one night.

If you like Reese's peanut butter cups and have not had Justin's you need to rectify that. But with this news also maybe not?

Pouring out pasta sauce and there was a big "plop", thought it was a chunk of tomato. Picked it up in my spoon towards the end of the bowl of pasta....it is not a tomato. It's a big yellow blob and I have no idea what it is

If I don't post anymore take care of my family

That is literally one of the worst ways to use an LLM. They do not know what it means for something to be true

What’s the logical fallacy called where you focus on the weakest arguments from the opposition and pretend they are representative?

Clearly by your post there’s a third position: β€œpeople who are skeptics or opposed just haven’t invested the time to learn how to use it” which is both condescending and wrong

β€œWomen can sue for being sexually harassed, but men cannot sue for an environment where people are polite and don’t use slurs” is certainly a take

The only financial advice you need for a 401k is β€œput it in a low fee index fund and leave it alone”, anyone selling advice is a charlatan. Anyone selling advice which uses AI is a charlatan and a criminal
