Wow, phenomenal project and write-up, thanks for sharing it.

"no - not in any practical sense today, and "maybe" only in a very deep, borderline-impractical research sense."

This is why humans will always rule over crappy LLMs.

Wait, why? This is exactly what I as a human would have said in this situation.

Or if you're referring to how the OP still decided to go ahead, I've seen AIs go ahead on impractical courses of action many times, and surprisingly succeed on some of them.

I believe that LLM (and ML in general) tools really shine when they are developed and used AS tools.

Unfortunately, I also believe that market forces may push away from this direction, as LLM companies try to capture the value stream

Exactly. AI psychosis is real.

Never let an AI tell you that you cannot do something practical for your own self for research, discovery or for fun.

The only thing that is close to impractical is expecting your non-technical friends or others to follow you without any incentive or benefit.
