LLM = Large-Language Model, or AI.  Specifically, I'm referring to the
AI summaries that Google has blessed us with in our searches.

I go straight to ChatGPT. If it's feeling cranky, then Copilot.

and second .. i use the empathy web interface to post messages ..

For the record, we do not recommend posting from Empathy,
we specifically recommend not to unless it is an emergency such as your email client is broken.

It is full of bugs, and specifically it reformats posted OpenSCAD code, often braking it.
