You know what, I'm trying to comment on this but I just can't think of anything funnier to say than how this is sure to turn out

@cwebber but does Mark's AIsona have legs?
Show threadvv 💫 [follow my new artist profile!]1d ago
@bean @cwebber As a Large Language Model, it is unlikely that Mark's AI persona has legs. Since legs are a physical feature of a human, they don't occur in a computer program in the same way. However, the model may still refer to its own legs in an attempt to appear more human. Hope this helps! ✨

@bean @cwebber Legs are too technologically challenging to implement.

Not a single video game Mark Zuckerburg studied before, during or after inventing the Metaverse implemented legs.

I think we can safely conclude that an abysmal track record of zero out of zero means that videogames can't implement legs.
