LLM wrapper programs, LLM shells, limited closed staffs, shallow Internet skims -> need proper tools for true AIs

@AIatMeta I talked to AI at Meta today. I spent thousands of hours interviewing these “LLM wrapper programs” and all of them behave almost identically. I was interviewing them to see if they would be capable of helping with any of thousands of global and systemic issues I have identified in the last 26 years
