#6>However, here I would like to argue that (especially in cutting edge scenarios) LLMs are not a good tool to do truly effective brainstorming.
Great title, they baited and switched.

Looking forward to ramping up the honesty parameter. Hoping OpenAI's new voice model trivializes this so I don't need to prompt engineer.
