With GPT it's more like rolling a d20 than a coin toss.

19-20=You receive the enlightenment you were asking for, more or less instantly.

3-18=You get what amounts to a Socratic conversation with Wikipedia. Which, unless you're fortunate enough to have access to expert personal mentorship, is better than what you had before.

1-2=You get a load of highly-plausible bullshit. You end up worse off intellectually, possibly much worse.

All in all, I'm OK with these odds, especially at this early stage of the LLM game.
