Fair point. I treat LLMs like the forgetful junior we often hear about. The things I don't care to do, they (both local and hosted/'frontier') can. Boilerplate, very-well-described edits, some research/report, etc; a lot is riding on 'acceptable'.

Easier to spawn another terminal pane/browser tab than hire a contractor, I just don't find the 'frontier' services/terms compelling.
