The whole poetry/prompt thing is a good reminder: just because a claim sounds like it would bolster a prior belief doesn't make it true. It's all too easy, and I am very guilty of this, to let your guard down around things that reinforce narratives I already believe.

(There's a subtle distinction with Bayesian-style priors that's worth exploring.)

But like, here, we *know* LLMs suck, we know why. We don't need to fall for hoaxes and propaganda to bolster that.
