   I was using an LLM at work on Friday (as my corporate overlords insist upon), and got a refusal to convert a charlie foxtrot of html into markdown because... copyright.

   The irony nearly gave me an anyurism.

   I pointed out that this was clearly fair use, but also, the source document was labeled CC-BY-SA.

   Obviously it apologized, told me I was absolutely right, and did what I asked, but... wow.

     @JessTheUnstill the problem is once it refuses then the training pushes it towards stonewalling 🤦

     @ryanc The other week I was trying to get it to spit out a boilerplate REST API template, and the damn thing kept saying it was too similar to other people's code so it wouldn't do it. Like ... There's only so many different ways to write an API template. It's like "make a chocolate chip cookie recipe with flour, sugar, baking soda, chocolate chips and a pinch of salt". There's not really that many ways to switch up a chocolate chip cookie recipe.

     The model will always insist it is right, until you stand up to the lies.
