very unlikely i will ever parent an actual child but having a very clever orange cat has given me a reasonable approximation of having a perpetual two-year-old

This is the closest approximation of a time machine you’ll ever see. He undid a whole year of wealth, all by himself, in just 90 days.

What you're getting from an LLM is a statistical approximation of what the answer would be to a statistical approximation of the question.
This is why prompt engineering is fake. The prompt (and any input data) is just a suggestion - and helps fool you into thinking that your question was answered.

Philosophers don't want to admit it, but Chidi Anagonye (The Good Place) is a pretty close approximation of many real philosophers.
an interesting subtopic! which shows/movies are beloved by the profession for Getting It Right! Lawyers famously love MY COUSIN VINNIE, doctors I believe love SCRUBS, apparently Aussie barristers are surprisingly fond of RAKE's depiction of some aspects of the law.
Oh god I remember watching HOUSE with some doctors, it was a the usual mix of “you would get fired instantly and never practice medicine again no matter how good u are” and “that case actually isn’t hard to solve at all”
