I do find some use for LLMs when I need to make a genuine natural language query:

Is there a name/theory describing a shift in the political spectrum (left or right) that results in what were once moderate left/right views becoming considered “extreme”?

Turns out there is a thing called the Overton Window 🤷‍♀️

Though, not sure I agree with Lehman right now:

The most common misconception is that lawmakers themselves are in the business of shifting the Overton window. That is absolutely false. Lawmakers are actually in the business of detecting where the window is, and then moving to be in accordance with it.
