The first response to almost every question on #StackOverlow is: "What is the problem you actually want to solve?"
This might be annoying, but it is often the right approach. To step back and reevaluate. But #LLMs don't usually ask you that. Sometimes a little bit of pushback is the right thing.

@bloody_albatross The classic "XY Problem". Always fun to try and convince someone to actually explain their problem instead of what they're looking for an answer to.
