Hey! Let me tell you a little about my day, Mr. Jolly Olly Man. The brown-out shut down my air conditioner, my bag of ice melted before I could get it home, I couldn’t get into the movie theater, or the city pool. And now when I finally found a little relief from the heat, a little ice cream, you snatched it away. You better sell me some ice cream at a fair price, or face the consequences.
Hey Arnold! | Heat | Air date November 4, 1996

This may be the worst use of LLMs anyone has attempted, ever. Up there with recognizing mushrooms.


Oh no

Oh no no no NO

Do not trust AI to guide you through wilderness and unknown terrain. This is a terrible idea.


The funny thing about humans is given enough time they will reinvent the fey from first principles.


Remember in its early days Google Maps would send people the wrong way down one-way roads and into dead ends?

That wasn’t even AI. Imagine the possibilities!

Child was an absolutely fascinating woman. An abolitionist and women's rights advocate, she was also critical of organized religion despite being nominally Christian as many of her time and place were. She published a novel that was scandalous for centering around an interracial marriage between a white woman and a Native man, became well known for a series of household guides specifically at poor women, had a fairly egalitarian marriage with her husband David, and also wrote the poem "over the river and through the woods" about her grandparents' house in Medford, Massachusetts
