In school, humans rarely answer with "I don't know" when faced by teachers.
LLMs are the same, to that regard, they answer to the best of their abilities.
It's ones individual job to inform and reason. The problem solving in school is about that. Lean into your formal education. It tells you learning gets harder and harder and it never stops.
This is a novel. It's not an absolute truth, it's anecdotal and basic, simplified to make a point majority will understand. It sounds like truth only if you never question written knowledge. You should. Asimov wrote that to the best of its abilities. He explored. He opened a conversation, he did not hand a verdict in.
I gave it an agentic software project to critically review.
It claimed gemini-3.1-pro-preview is wrong model name, the current is 2.5. I said it's a claim not verified.
It offered to create a memory. I said it should have a better procedure, to avoid poisoning the process with unverified claims, since memories will most likely be ignored by it.
It agreed. It said it doesn't have another procedure, and it then discovered three more poisonous items in the critical review.
I said that this is a fabrication defect, it should not have been in production at all as a model.
It agreed, it said it can help but I would need to verify its work. I said it's footing me with the bill and the audit.
We amicably parted ways.
I would have accepted a caveman-style vocabulary but not a lobotomized model.

My tomorrow understanding may be worst than that of today. Time passing is no guarantee for elevated intelligence.
Time to live for said solution is a practical factor that could and should settle the complexity issue of the solution, which may also turn into exploratory curiosity-enhanced over engineered solution.
Finally, all solutions have technical debts. Unavoidably sublime. We just choose to look the other way in most cases.
Talking about choice. The article is presented in non-avoidable dark mode. Enough already! Say it with me: dark mode does not directly reduces the brightness, which should be your main concern, it only masks the brightness, which is BAD!
Dark mode on an oled reduces brightness (and power consumption).
Dark mode on my work laptop (not oled) reduces backlight brightness. This is auto-tragical, because it seems to only respond to changes in the display buffer's average requested luminance, instead of using an ambient light sensor. Dropping backlight toward minimum when the room is bright makes the screen mostly unreadable. And there's no control for this. Dell should be ashamed!
More importantly, if you place any darkening filter, including a darkened set of pixels, in front of a light source, it reduces the brightness. But perhaps the main concern you intended is "power consumption", not "emitted lux"? If, I'd say "Depends on your application.".
