And why AI art feels hollow... Yes, I'm talking about AI again. Leave me alone.

Distant Illusions

@DistantIllusions in exams you take away the reference book and give the student new random-ish questions.

I guess we can't take the reference book away from LLMs, but we can ask questions outside their reference book, like "what is a+b", but with arbitrarily high numbers. And hope no one has shoved a big num lib in there...

@DistantIllusions or just do "a+1" with a big number...
