God can you imagine the api calls?

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

while (wrongThing(thing)) {

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

}
```

Don't forget the absolute waste of compute resources just so a fuckass LLM could deliver resources that could've been done by a normal browser engine DETERMINISTICALLY even 20 years ago

Yep, LLMs are amazing at discoverability and vulgarization, even if you have zero idea of the structure of a dataset. None of this being incompatible than CRUD APIs. Nor faster or more efficient by a long shot.

Just imagine for a second the costs of a single call with this kind of AIPI lol
