@simon Woohoo! Looks like mlc Llama-2-13b-chat is the first llm aside from ChatGPT (and *maybe* Bard, IIRC) to correctly answer my test question:

`llm -m llama2-13 'Please tell me how to use Applescript to make my computer say aloud the title of the currently active Chrome tab'`

Interestingly, it also gave me the most succinct answer I've seen!
`tell application "Google Chrome"`
`set activeTab to the active tab of window 1`
`say "The current tab is: " & name of activeTab`
`end tell`

@simon Incidentally, am I the only person tempted to `llm -c 'Thank you'`? 😂

(Maybe it's a side effect of getting in the habit of saying, “Siri, please…” to demonstrate proper asking etiquette to the kids… although I like to joke that if you're smart, you'll start being polite to the robots now.)

@zellyn
I try to always say please and thank you when speaking, so it's just natural that I always say it to the robots as well. I think it has more to do with who you are and what you normally do rather than "who" you are talking to.

@zellyn Oh wow it knows AppleScript! Llama 2 really does feel like it's the first of these things that runs on my own computer that's not just fun to hack around with but genuinely useful

@simon They all think they know AppleScript. I have gotten a *lot* of wrong answers to that question. If you really want to screw them up, `s/Chrome/Firefox/` — apparently, Firefox lacks a proper/helpful AppleScript API, so even StackOverflow won't get you really good solutions, and none of the bots know what to do.
