Why do you need ritalin my dude? Aren't LLMs already doing all the work that requires focus and intelligence instead of you?

Also, the very idea that LLMs would prescribe you ritalin at all is laughable... Having no human doctors in the loop is a guaranteed way to cut prescription drug abuse, as ya can't really bribe an LLM or appeal to its humanity...

You could manipulate or write the input/prompt in a way that would make it recommend any drug you wanted.

You think that in the country of the war on drugs such a thing will be approved?

Because i actually have real ADHD.

I have it so strong, that after I was preparing myself, my work desc, my books everything, i was starring into the books i wanted to learn for 15-30 minutes unable to just start or do anything.

With ritalin, i might have this mental block to, but its overcome in a few seconds.

I went from a 'nearly/borderline failing grade' to the nearly the best grade in just one year.

This changed significantly were I am today.

> Cool. Aren't LLMs already doing all the work that requires focus and intelligence instead of you?

So your solution is to outsource thinking and work? That'll work out great in the long run.

Not mine, OPs, judging by his recent pro-LLM posts
