Otherwise it hallucinates and tries hard in convincing me of a wrong answer.

They also want to doomscroll slop; it’s mindless and mildly entertaining. The same way tabloid newspapers were massively popular before the internet and gossip mags exist despite being utter horseshite. It’s what people want.

The same analogy is applicable to food.
