LLMs are a really accessible machine learning technique. I dabbled with text classifiers a few years ago and the APIs were way more involved. (system_prompt: String, input: String) -> String I can prototype with this much more easily!

The GIMP is the only software tool (AFAIK) where selecting content is an undoable operation. I think this makes sense: selecting things in a complex image is a much more involved operation than in text.
