Ah, there it is. The excuses, it's scrum all over again.

Mystical practitioners discount the studies done in the open as not fair or not being done right, or the people participating not believing in it hard enough.

My man, 95% of AI pilots failed.

Studies and evidence mean nothing to cults and religious believers, so yeah, I am happy that you feel and believe like you have your personal connection to the higher being that is the LLM. Keep the faith!

I don't care about the failures of others. I am succeeding. A study in 1920 would have proved that a man couldn't run a 4 minute mile, imagine if people had stopped trying.

You are using LLMs to do your work for you. The analogy with runners who actually trained to improve is hilarious.

You just described getting into a car and letting it "run" the sub 4 minute mile for you. Great success!
