"How can I sum this column of numbers?" "IDK, throw it at the LLM"

I do stuff like this sometimes when I have some csv or something and need it in JSON.

Could easily be done with 1 line of bash or js or python or whatever but... it's easier to just let the LLM do it for me :|

Or you could ask the AI for a script to convert it (whose resultant JSON would be free of hallucinations) and ask the AI to run the code, even, since I believe ChatGPT now has that ability, because I've definitely noticed that ChatGPT will sometimes mess up the data when converting from one format to another.
