"On two occasions I have been asked, 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question."

   --Charles Babbage 

We have now come to the point where you CAN put in the wrong figures and sometimes the right answer comes out (possibly over half the time!). This was and is incredible to me and I feel lucky to be alive to see it.

However, people have taken that to mean that you can ask any old question any old way and have the right answer come out now. I might at one point have almost thought so myself. But LLMs currently are definitely not there yet.

Consider (eg) Claude Code to be your English SHell (Compare: zsh, bash).

Learn what it can and can't do for you. It's messier to learn than straight and/or/not; and I'm not sure there's manuals for it; and any manual will be outdated next quarter anyway; but that's the state of play at this time.
