Message from Spooky23: says they like eating apples

Product pages on Amazon now have AI review summaries. I like it in theory, but the cynical part of me is suspicious they're somehow using it to skew things positive.

Yep. They obviously learned nothing from killing Xbox overnight. As an IT person I can guarantee this rebranding is going to cause confusion that will waste my time. That being sai…

"The FF 91's 142.0-kWh battery pack is rated for an EPA-estimated 381 miles of range " That's... pretty terrible. That's only 609km. The 438km-rated Model 3 battery pack is 66kwh. …

Train an LLM to turn plain language prompts into your engineered prompts ;)

This is interesting but I was hoping for some examples of what the 'programs' do
