(Also yes my Brother printer is just fine and turning 7 years old)

These are really interesting to read in order. The LLM output at the end of each shows how they've gotten better and stayed the same. Output is all formulaic just following slightly different formulas. I shall excitedly wait another year to see what is possible in 2026 and if everyone is right by 2027 the LLM will be the author of the piece including human written content for padding at the end.

(Also yes my Brother printer has worked great over the past 10 years. I even had to buy new toner and have replaced it with a third party toner twice so far.)
