Where do these analogies break down?

1. Similar cost structure to electricity, but non-essential utility (currently)?

2. Like an operating system, but with non-determinism?

3. Like programming, but ...?

Where does the programming analogy break down?

Yeah, wherever possible I try to have the llm answer me in Python rather than English (especially when explaining new concepts)

English is soooooo ambiguous
