LLMs are sold on the premise of doing cool stuff and reasonably understanding intent and doing it. The man on the Clapham omnibus would not miss-interpret "no" like that.

The LLM asked: "Shall I implement [plan]". The response was "no". The LLM then went on to "interpret" what no referred to and got it wrong.

As you say, it is amusing but people are wiring these things up to bank accounts and all sorts.

I'm looking into using a Qwen3.5 quant to act as a network ... fiddler, for want of a better word but you can be sure I'll be taking rather more care than our errm "hero" (OP).
