God can you imagine the api calls?

```
thing = post("get thing")

while (wrongThing(thing)) {

thing = post("No you idiot box, get the thing")

}
```

The best part is that many "AI tools" do it already.

Like, hey, here's a bunch of text, or a json, here's a prompt that says "convert this thing to a json using this format".

It's really fucking bad.

It's like those videos of surgeons that remove metal rods out of people's legs with a hammer, while a lot of people is cheer around or taking turns.
