		Yes, I do use the recursive autocomplete trained on Stack Overflow, what does this have to do with “training machines to love”? Do I fully endorse everything the people holding guns to my head are forcing me to do to stay alive? Definitely not, but I’ve decided that for now, living to fight another day remains worth it
