> they never push back on nonsense questions or stupid requirements

I was reminded of your comment this morning when I asked ChatGPT how to create a path mask in Rhino Grasshopper:

Me: what is a path mask that will get 1;1;0;0;* and also anything lower (like 1;0;5;10 or 0;20;1;15} ?

ChatGpt: Short answer: No single path mask can do that. Here's why: (very long answer)

Me: are you sure I can't use greater than, less than in the masks?

ChatGpt: Yes — **I am absolutely sure:** **Grasshopper path masks do *NOT* support greater-than or less-than comparisons.** Official sources and detailed confirmation: (sources and stuff)

...so I think your priors may need to be updated, at least as far as "never". And I especially like that ChatGpt hit me with not just bold, not just italics, but bold italics on that NOT. Seems like a fairly assertive disagreement to me.
