Which LLM? When was this code written? When was the last time you saw "garbled output" and what was the context?

I'm really trying to get to the bottom of these claims, because I see them a lot and it's so wildly different from most people's experiences.

If a lot of people make the same claim, then from their perspective, you’re the one with a “wildly different” experience. What makes you so certain your experience generalizes to “most people’s experiences”?
