Or, perhaps we have far different priorities in life than you do. I’ll take all the help I can get from AI to optimize where my time is spent.

What a terrible take.

You’re right, some people prioritize optimizing their life away. I prefer to live it.

Just remember that LLMs as a technology are a prediction engine. If you don’t give it very specific inputs, it will just coalesce to a probabilistic outcome.
