GPT4o claims to know how to apply the Toulmin hexagon framework, and can produce results similar to the Miller-Altshule template for Tana. Not surprising, since the Tana template uses ChatGPT (and, optionally, others) in the underlying Tana command structure.
Perhaps we should be skeptical about LLM argument-analyses results, due to the persistent lack of actual intelligence in the models. As Ronnie said - trust but verify.
