New idea for what to use LLMs for … “hey model make an excuse for why I can’t make brunch Saturday” (thanks @simon for this! 🤣)

LLMs generate vibes … 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

Want to embrace new tech tools? Do as @simon does and ask yourself “What can I build with this that I couldn’t have built before?”
