Here is why I hate gen AI. I asked GPT-5 to explain why Braille displays are so expensive, and it incorrectly told me that it has to move cells thousands of times per minute.

That makes them surprisingly difficult and expensive to engineer.

My favorite thing about large language models is that just like fruits and vegetables, people can start advertising their content as all natural and organic.
