      No, of course not, but it’s always fun watching big companies sputter when their AI says things the company doesn’t want them to say, especially when the entire tech industry seems hell-bent on deluding everyone into thinking LLM output can be trusted to parse medical records, provide customer service better than humans, and provide a net-positive to this world.
