this is going to end up banal but what a world it would have been if the people who YOLO'd consumer LLMs with the pitch "this can automate the boring shit you don't want to do" had a definition of "boring shit" that was "set up AWS creds" instead of "art, music, socializing, raising children"

recently gave up on a project bc Workfront’s API documentation is wanting and the years-old answers on the forums didn’t work. Hoped AI would save me; Claude and Gemini gave me answer after answer of plausible-looking API calls, none of which worked.

As an actual dietitian, this person is no dietitian. He is an emergency medical doctor who follows the carnivore diet. Per the Minnesota AG’s office he has “deceptive business practices alongside his alternative wellness claims.”
Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.
