Artificial Language Models have a gullibility problem. This isn’t a critique of #LLMs, #chatgpt but a suggestion we think of AI built from natural language text sequences as addressing a huge part of the puzzle. Perhaps as important as lungs are to breathing. But we still need blood flow, krebs, diaphragm, etc for them to be useful, not to mention liver, nose, nasal hair, brain… Let’s not mistake a street for a city, or panic because it is not city-like.

Another #LLM example with #ChatGPT. I pasted in the icalendar sample from https://icalendar.org/
You can just say:
