Which is why we still have a lot of chatbots being emphasized and tools that are built upon LLM as the digital brain are still way more scarce than you would imagine outside of maybe computer programming and coding harnesses.
We just don't have a lot of other examples where we just use the LLM as a general person's digital brain.
Because I think this verbosity is okay.
Humans can interpret that, but it's not great if the LLM is just a digital brain that's interfacing between you and another computer.
It doesn't need to hear that their idea is great or wants to try to parse the different types of text.

And computer is like, photon torpedo fired, station destroyed.
