Good instinct. Fair challenge. This corrects my framing. It makes your point sharp. This is a significant finding. Positively confirmed. That settles it, and it flips the picture. Honest verdict - this is not small. Let me wire it in.

I think some people who grew up with web apps didn't know local native apps preceded them.

Let me verify one thing.

Let me read this rather than answer from memory.

Let me check instead of handwaving the details.

Let me confirm rather than blindly trusting.

Let me ground it in evidence rather than guess.

Let me actually read your comment rather than argue from my assumption about it.

Ah, t is a formal variable, a symbol, like the letter t.

Not like a drink with jam and bread.

Incredible. My two-year-old forgets to include Lambek when lecturing on Curry-Howard-Lambek correspondence. Kids.

The LLMs are better at enforcing their boundaries than developers. Run out of tokens? That's it. No more code. It doesn't care how much the company needs this for the customer call tomorrow.

I imagine everyone has a point at which they feel a movement has pushed its rhetoric just that bit too far. When one takes a lofty and high-minded position, one can find oneself exposed to ridicule.

In case it helps the authentic human connection: I too wrote this with my human hands and did not use AI.

Artists: No cold-hearted machine can ever replicate the ingenuity, the innate creativity and passionate soul of the artiste.

Later: The villain cat has the catchphrases 'Purrrfect' and 'You must be kitten me'. The snake character makes lotsss of sss noissesss.
