The AI dooooooom thread

[crazy canuck]

Some of the curl bug bounty AI commits are a hoot too.

And some rational soul crying out in the wilderness

Stop humanizing this tool and find it's owner and hold them accountable for wasting time and resources on an industrial scale.

Just to add to my occasional uses that I find helpful, but are in no way transforming the economy

As well as Anki list making I do still find it surprisingly helpful on the language learning/improving front. (I think language translation is still just extraordinary from what I remember in my early days on the internet - it blew my mind when I was in  East Asia and realised I could just turn on my camera to get translation of, say, Chinese characters.)

Also was in a bookshop today looking at two versions of a classic foreign novel with different translations and used it to get some information about the reception etc of the different translations. Which was helpful in itself - but the bit that pleasantly surprised me was that it recommended specific descriptive sections on the first page as a vibe-check I could do against the two. Which was interesting and I found helpful.
