    Garbage is a harsh word. Technically fascinating and surely has its applications. “Talking” with bots surely isn’t a good one. Using it for important stuff? Surely ain’t it either.

    Letting it sum up some 5838292 pages of a boring contract to get a slight oversight? Helpful. Relying on it? Dumb.

    Getting some translation that can make sense? Helpful. Betting your life on it? Dumb.

    Letting then quickly throw a prototype at you in 2 mins that would’ve taken you 2hours? Helpful. Just deploy it to 100 machines without manually checking? Dumb.

    Don’t blame the tool, blame the user 😁

      I compare it to snapshot tests a lot. They’re similarly constrained by “good if used wisely” but most people don’t do that. It’s easier to use them extensively. That’s just how people are. They do the easy thing

        Hehe, yeah sure. Easy is awesome. I see why people use those bots for everything. You can get shoulder-pats for even the dumbest shit opinion you throw at them. And “evidence” too. I would put a smiley here because it sounds funny and absurd to me, but sadly it ain’t funny.

        People shouldn’t be allowed to use “AI” until they got a license for it. Like cars.
