Yes, rejection sucks. But not as much as sycophantic LLMs that don’t know anything.
I don’t want to eat paint chips. Dating AI is even less appealing.
It can summarize love and never disagree or say I dont know👍
Ooooof, what a dark timeline. I’d rather hear “I don’t know” over BS any day of the week
But you’re not weak, confused and immature, and some societies have large pluralities of folks who are nothing but those things. 😔
