So in the thread that made you try it (https://bsd.network/@dch/110501874752402311) they said: "@pitrh I’m still waiting for it to explain my pf .conf setup to me” Which is kinda the inverse of “make me a pf.conf file”. I am curious if “explain to me this pf.conf in plain english” would work. :-) Probably about as well. It's the "Chinese Room" AI concept all over again. No "understanding", just rules. I find where its helpful is if I understand well what I want and can evaluate the answer when I see it with confidence. e.g. the other day I was working with a rather obscure app I had used a lot 2 yrs ago - influxDB. I knew I wanted to do, but forgot the syntax and its particular way of doing things was a little foggy. It got it right the first time. Yes, I could have trolled through the API documentation, or did a traditional google search, but it was a lot faster and was exactly what I wanted. ---Mike

I tried this morning to the contact provided on the web error page with no response ([EMAIL PROTECTED])... Then I saw a few of your postings to the list and figured perhaps you dont check [EMAIL PROTECTED] or my original email was turfed by your network as spam or some other reason like your internal mail server was full... (maillogs said your network accepted it but the problem box could be after... dont know) So I posted to the list. ---Mike
