    LLMs like Gemini have basically the exact same UI form factor as the Starship Enterprise’s computer. All you need is that little tweedle “I’m listening” prompt and a Text-To-Majel-Barrett library. Thing is, on the Enterprise, it always correctly worked. If you asked it for a statement of fact you’d get a quote out of a database. Gemini will just make shit up that sounds plausible.

      Exactly. I am a time thief at work with limited internet access at my job, but I have access to Gemini and I use it because I have nothing else to do. I often need to overcorrect it ALL the time.
