@jerry did they turn to ash on the spot, or stagger out of the room while still burning?

[Gast]

@jerry going to need some aloe vera for that burn.

[Gast]

@jerry I've had the opportunity to use that phrase many times lately, but never the confidence to.

[Gast]

@jerry You’re my hero, Jerry

[Gast]

@jerry Absolute legend.

[Gast]

@jerry You are an icon!

@jerry

Yeah, let's talk about #toxic #incompetence in various fields. Why would you even contemplate insulting somebody like that?

[Gast]

@jerry is this specifically about large language models, or is it the old-fashioned variant? could go either way tbqh
