There’s a lot of a disagreement to be had here…but AI is a topic where we all pretty much seem to agree.

I’ve experimented with AI (so-called chatbots) and the best that can be said about it is it’s a tool…not even a good tool…for starting a project when you’re stuck. It’s absolutely unreliable for anything approaching a final project. I guess…it’s really great if you enjoy being pissed off that it can both mine valid obscure information, while at the same time lye to your face over and over…but then do a 180 on something that’s true or a lie just because you tell it to.

I understand that I’m a bit like a toaster that was advertised as a chef…but really all I do is try to burn your house down

This is a beautiful metaphor and I'm pissed that it came out of an LLM. Either this is a hilarious consequence of the word "toaster" often being followed by "burn your house", or someone else on the Internet came up with it and the LLM just regurgitated.

I mean…I’m sure it came from something I said to it…all LLMs are good for is being agreeable and reflecting what you want back to you…provided what you ask for is simple.
