the slot machine is apt. insert tokens, pull lever, ALMOST get a reward. Think: I can start over, manually, or pull the lever again. Maybe I'll get a prize if I pull it again...

and of course, you pay whether the slot machine gives a prize or not. Between the slot machine psychological effect and sunk cost fallacy I have a very hard time believing the anecdotes -- and my own experiences -- with paid LLMs.

Often I say, I'd be way more willing to use and trust and pay for these things if I got my money back for output that is false.
