I am afraid I have to say that for many people, including me,
the link is *already* effectively a dead link.

LLMs cannot ever be trustworthy assistants to programmers,
for exactly the reason Richard described: they do not even *try*
to understand the texts they scan. I know enough about the
variouts subfields of AI to have known this since the hype
started around LLMs. I therefore have neither a copilot
account, nor any desire to get one, and I don't want to get
on any mailing lists about them either, which is why my
response to the sign-in request that you get at the link
you posted was to close the browser tab.

You may want to check out the email thread started by this post

which turned to be about an LLM confidently sprouting incorrect info
about Mercury.
