Had he expended even minimal effort to do so, he would have discovered that the AI-generated cases do not exist.

Sure. Look llms should be able to help, but only if there’s a human to bring meaning. Llms are basically… What’s that word… I’m thinking about it at the tip of my tongue… Word completion engines.

Just learn how to use it for a purpose rather than leat it barf out and answer.
