How many times, in how many contexts, from how many internal and external researchers, or from how many CEO's are people going to have to receive this message before they believe it:

"Hallucinations" are an inherent part of the large language model architecture.

Content editing dream achieved - a single Google Doc source for my BG3 mod's new homepage. All the styling is somewhere else. I edit the doc, and a unifiedjs system running in Deno mashes the content into the style. Clean HTML comes out.
