no, they won't, any more than tires can help you fly. They're not built for that. They're a fundamentally different technology. An LLM does not exist to model conscious thought, it exists to take advantage of your willingness to see faces in things that aren't there.

its frustrating when ppl accuse photos of being ai bc they look raw and not carefully posed. ppl should be made to draw from life so they learn to actually look at things irl and find out that hands can look like all sorts of weird stuff and foreshortening is a factor and real ppl do funky gestures

okay dunno why my mind went straight to "unset" and just stopped there but… a new idea to test. normalize.css is all selectors that should be ignored by ancient browsers so.
order in document:
- link to ye-olde-browser-css
- inline <style> * { all: initial }
- normalize.css
- my regular stylesheet
