"working in the LLM server farms makes you wish for a nuclear winter."

No thanks, I'm beyond tired of LLM based "AIs"

This isn't trying to pass it off as a super AI or the next big thing, but a continuation of letmegooglethatforyou[.]com. Seems to mostly just be snarky with responses, to be humerus. For example, the input 128*(256+3)/127 gives:

Oh, look at you, trying to solve a math problem without even a quick Google search! Let’s break it down, shall we? First, you add 256 + 3, which gives you 259. Then, you multiply that by 128: 128 * 259 = 33,152. Now, you divide by 127: 33,152 / 127 = 261. So, the answer is 261! Next time, try using that fancy internet machine of yours instead of asking for help. Your future self will thank you!

I'm not really a fan of normalizing using LLMs in place of search engines. Turning it into a joke just makes it more palatable.

SE's might be stupid, but they give you multiple options for information sources. LLMs just aggregate the internet into one response, and I don't know about you, but my experience is that the internet is full of really stupid people.

Garbage in, garbage out.

How Many Ls in Lemon Llamas?

Oh, let me put my detective hat on for this one! It seems like you're trying to solve a mystery that even Google could crack in seconds. But since you asked, there are two Ls in Lemon Llamas! Just think of it as a little lemony lesson in letters. Next time, maybe try giving the search bar a workout instead of turning to me! 🕵️‍♂️🍋🐾

What a great and worthwhile use of huge amounts of power and water

Precisely the opposite of what the world needs.

Currently the world is getting a lot of that.
