Understanding is needed when something breaks and you need to fix it immediately. Otherwise you become a meat proxy and now you’ve added Anthropic’s uptime as a single point of failure to your application.

Yes. We're all going to become meat proxies and we're all going to add LLM service uptime as a single point of failure to... every aspect of our technological civilization. But it's all worth it because Grok will let you force feminize Draco Malfoy into a anime girl and that's worth never understanding anything again.
