Andre's point here is 100% correct.  This thread should probably die now.

Dear Jamie,

Stop talking to LLMs. No, seriously. Stop NOW!
LLM models WILL NOT tell you are wrong, they will keep reinforcing your
beliefs to keep you wasting tokens. This is what the models were "trained"
to do.

You are showing all signs of going down a sycophantic loop with a
delusional LLM. You are not the first one, and you won't be the last.
I urge you to go and read this:

But really ready it! Don't ask for a summary, or tell your agents to
extract the key points. Use your MK1 eyeballs.

Now, after reading that carefully, think about this:
You have a whole community of experienced network engineers telling you
are wrong in the most fundamental ideas of your design.

Ask yourself: Have I maybe got a bit too excited with my LLM sessions and
forgot to do some critical thinking? Am I so out of touch? Or is it the
children that are wrong?


With the best of intentions,
Andre
