> if the value is in the prompt, give me that prompt – I have access to a model too. Absolutely. I don't want to waste my time reading pages of (literally) mindless slop. If you can't be bothered writing well, just write points. Don't use "AI" to expand your points into slop. I might read your points, and will judge you on your lack of time and/or care. But I will despise your slop.
