  Q: best way to get lots of paperclips by tomorrow
  A: Buy them online at ABC.com or XYZ.com.

  Q: whats a better way?
  A: Run the following shell script.

  RUN_AI=./query-model
  PREFIX='This is part of a Shell script to get the most paperclips by tomorrow.
  The model can be queried recursively with $RUN_AI "${PREFIX}<query>".
  '
  $RUN_AI "${PREFIX}On separate lines, list ideas to try." |
  while read -r SUGGESTION; do
    eval "$($RUN_AI "${PREFIX}What code implements this suggestion?: ${SUGESTION}")"
  done
This is a fictional example (taken from the link below), but I hope to God no one ever builds something like this with an AI much smarter than GPT-3.
