If it wasn’t the LLM it would be random letters on license plates that drive by, or the coindence that red lights cause traffic to stop every few minutes.

You don't think having a machine (that seems like a person) telling you "yes you are correct you are definitely the Messiah, I will tell you aincient secrets" has any extra influence?

I’m sorry, Dave. I can’t do that <🔴>
