     @mcgrew but the “ai” isn’t writing anything. It’s making a statistical pastiche.

     It’s the code equivalent of word salad and only gets the simplest of use cases only mostly correct and only then because it’s regurgitating chunks of other people’s code…

     We need to stoping talking about these LLMs as though there’s any intent or design behind what they do. It’s not helpful or backed up by what these system actually do — it’s the fetishization of a SciFi trope.
