Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

The only things I've seen it do better than I could manage with a script or in Vim are things that require natural language comprehension. Like, "here's an email forwarded to an app, find anything that sounds like a deadline" or "given this job description, come up with a reasonable title summary for the page it shows up on".... But even then those are small things that could be entirely omitted from the functionality of an app without any trouble on the user. And there's also the hallucinations and being super wrong sometimes.

The whole thing is a mess
