But just like gambling, there are ways to do it correctly.

Yes, there are the grandmas in a trance vibe-gambling by shoving a bucket of quarters in a slot machine.

But you also have people playing Blackjack and beating the averages by knowing how it's played, maybe having a "feel" for the deck (or counting cards...), and most importantly knowing when to fold and walk away.

Same with LLMs, you need to understand context sizes and prompts and you need to have a feel for when the model is just chasing its own tail or trying to force a "solution" just to please the user.
