It’s in the quote that they scaled it.

Yes but they supposedly scaled it to "one meter per meter". A "scale where the distance from the Sun to Earth is 150 million km" is the actual distance.

lol I did miss that, but it was enough to make it not a guess that its source was scaling for comparison.

My whole point was the same as your OP, though. A condom that's 95% effective isn't worth shit. You can't let a toy without reading comprehension do your reading for you.

But the thing is condoms ARE 98% effective, and yet people still use them every single day.

Nothing is perfect, humans, AI/LLMs, etc, no matter what, absolutely nothing is.

Regardless, anything I say about AI/LLMs that isn't that it's terrible and useless and nobody should/would ever use it is going to be met with criticism.
