In an era of hallucinating LLMs that are frankly ‘mostly’ useless for research, I must highlight the amazing value provided by Hasanyone.com. @andrew.diffuse.one this is a huge hit! Most useful AI tool for lit research I have found so far.

I was playing with Grok 2. I wanted to see what it could do.
I asked it to create a meme it thought could go viral, giving Trump a hard time for not keeping his promise to cut grocery prices. It was ok. Then I asked it to go dark. It’s response wasn’t what I expected lol

My new favourite game is to invent a nonsense phrase and ask an LLM to tell me the meaning. It then frantically tries to invent an answer 😂 it’s like having a little narcissist in your phone 😂
Here is the explanation for that well known phrase “if the shark bites the moth flies” 😂😂😂
