Picked up my new ride today. It moves like it's supposed to so far.

Except this is exactly how it is supposed to work. It is a language model, not a 'correct answer machine'.

Piano? Yeah, ok. But what about three keyboards and something for the feet? I'll be taking this beaut from 1951 for a spin almost every Sunday. If you're in the west end of Toronto, swing by Humbercrest United and see what's happening.

One of my favourite things the last few years has been listening to people playing in bars when we stop in after our own performance.

This is an odd response considering they can only point to one incident.
Security guards are not worth the money they cost. Little boys cosplaying as big boys - but with no authority to do anything. Yet the city can inflate the figure they claim to spend helping homeless people.
