Yesterday, I was praying to ChatGPT and asking for guidance on my car washing problem. Through its holy scripture, it suggested me to walk to the car wash to improve my fitness. When I arrived and found the absence of my car to be a true hindrance for washing, it occurred to me that I should have pondered the scripture more carefully to identify its true meaning.

I treat the LLM like a diety. Every sane person understands well enough that the Bible is not to be taken literally. And then when someone talks about using LLMs, I always rephrase that as prayer.

I heard this exact story recently in a YouTube video, well, the car wash part at least. That was you?

		It's a well known example. At least I have heard it before. I think it's just a reference.

		It's an example people use to show the (current) limits of LLM capabilities. Like counting the 'r's in strawberry around two years ago.
