I've had a few rough days getting used to my new Invisalign. Sore ligaments that hold my teeth in place, mainly.

Compare this to the rigid, maloccluded mindset of, for just one example, using an OPAC to look for journal holdings. Which can make for another painful transition.

The initial hype over Wikipedia was largely ignored by librarians. It could be wrong, after all, so the site shouldn't be trusted. Hallucinating large language models are now facing a similar treatment. Never mind the fact that non-librarians, again, are off and running with the new technology.
