Thank you for dropping by. I hope that you have fun.

Tested with JLLM. If the bot repeats responses or writes for you, I'm afraid I really that's mainly due to the LLM. Adding some advanced prompts can help prevent this, just regen. LLM be wonky these days

I appreciate constructive criticism of course, but please be gentle (⸝⸝ᴗᴗᴗ⸝⸝).
