“Total loss” just means “it costs too much to fix”.

This is why you gotta wipe out all of your accounts before selling anything electronic. Usually a factory reset takes care of it.

I mean yeah. That's what ALL of the AI output is. Making shit up. The thing is, it doesn't know the difference between the stuff it makes up that happens to be true and the the stuff it makes up that happens to be false.
