You're discounting the times when it doesn't work. I recently experienced a weird 4X slowdown across multiple VirtualBox VM's on a Windows 10 host. AI led me down rabbit holes that didn't solve the problem.

I finally noticed a configuration problem. For some weird reason, in the Windows Features control panel, the "Virtual Machine Platform" checkbox had become unchecked (spontaneously; I did not touch this).

I mentioned this to AI, which insisted on not flipping that option, that it is not it.

> "Virtual Machine Platform" sounds exactly like something that should be checked for virtualization to work, and it's a common area of conflict. However, this is actually a critical clarification that CONFIRMS we were on the right track earlier! "Virtual Machine Platform" being UNCHECKED in Windows Features is actually the desired state for VirtualBox to run optimally.'

In fact, it was that problem. I checked the option, rebooted the host OS, and the VMs ran at proper speed.

AI can not only not be trusted to make deep inferences correctly, it falters on basic associative recall of facts. If you use it as a substitute for web searches, you have to fact check everything.

LLM AI has no concept of facts. Token prediction is not facts; it's just something that is likely to produce facts, given the right query in relation to the right training data.
