But the internet tends to give you things from many different locations, so I'm not sure... In any case however, parentheses are not sufficient on their own, because they would indicate that the speaker started an aside partway through their own sentence (which is rare in writing but it's not too rare for people to do it in speech if they realise partway through their sentence that they should add extra clarification to what they're currently saying).

this was super cool to watch. first of all, it was really satisfying to see that you’ve actually progressed in parkour. i know people from my social circle that describe themselves as someone who uses body inefficiently. and tbh i can understand where they’re coming from in certain situations lol. the thing is that i haven’t seen any of them trying to put an effort to improve, so it’s quite easy to take the point of “i’m literally incapable of succeeding in this” as complete truth. seeing your very first moves and the footage of where you landed eventually is actually refreshing, the progress is very easy to see. good job! and also this reminds me of the fact that human brain is a hell of a capable machine that we come with lol. and secondly, the spectacle of the struggles of an AI agent moving its body parts in super abstract, absurd and physics-defying positions is like a piece of art by itself, i could watch it for hours loool. thanks, the video was a genuine pleasure to watch 🙏🏼

Haha, I also spent the last 3 months writing an AI, in my case for uni. This journey is very relatable When something is built on maths, it learns in a restricted way, human consciousness allows for context to be taken from previous lessons, but machines learn off a score. This won't always be the case, but it is right now. Also, remember that chatGPT is very much like spell check, it's a predictive model that basic guesses what the next word in the sentence will be.
