New idea for what to use LLMs for โ€ฆ โ€œhey model make an excuse for why I canโ€™t make brunch Saturdayโ€ (thanks @simon for this! ๐Ÿคฃ)

LLMs generate vibes โ€ฆ but how do we evaluate vibes? Well if you had to name a pelican which model do you like better - A or B? Tools like LMSYS chatbot arena help us make sense of which one has the best vibes.

(Btw I am team Scooper. Like come on ever see a pelican try to eat a capybara?!)

PS tryout `pip install llm` a tool for tinkering with LLMs
