You can ask the LLM the same question a hundred times and it might not give you the same answer it gave someone else. The way it responds is a combination of random chance and the language used to ask the question.

    I used whatever free tokens I had asking and every time it said it was a copyright violation in different ways. Make of that what you will but dont underestimate these oligarchs. They're weaving past, present, and future into the biggest ball of shit ever created and it rolls in their favor.
