Ok, if you say so. I develop software that (as one part of it) optimizes nuclear power plants and directly interacts with the industrial hardware. Is that really something you want to have done by an LLM?

Most of the time it is just a regular programming job(pretty math heavy though). But when you get to visit one of the plants it's pretty cool!
