Consistency typically a 'result of use' thing (assuming not a prodigy). Take the 'skiplist'[1] approach an look/try things. (just be mindful of the gpt3/ search engine trap(s)).

Typically only hear about the sucessess, not the seaming endless approaches that went nowhere.

Thanks for the advice. I did not get what you meant by gpt3/search engine trap(s). Could you elaborate a bit?

Use of logic, even if via 'AI', still doesn't eliminate logical fallacies.
