Claims that LLMs solve everything meet concrete limits: visual outputs show gender and racial bias in training data (DALL·E example), GDPR means personal data used for training cannot be removed, and the EU AI Act bans real‑time public face recognition. Empirical comparisons find many wrong citations and paywalled sources scraped (Perplexity, ChatGPT search, Gemini underperform; Copilot disappoints). Energy numbers quoted: ResNet train ≈ 0.001 t CO2, GPT‑3 train ≈ 570 t CO2 and 1,000 image requests = 200 g CO2; recommends on‑device NER (open source ENS) or smaller models when feasible.
