This. LLMs are marketed on the false premise of all knowledge, intelligence and wisdom being possible to be encoded in language only.

"a database which uses optimistic concurrency in serializable isolation level. Postgres is often configured this way, though it's not the only way it can be configured."

It's not the default (read committed is) and I never saw serializable being set in actual production systems. You can do it, but then you have to be able to retry all of your transactions, including read.

What if the task you do take 5 minutes? 30 minutes? 10 hours? Do you create long transaction, blocking all reads?
