my new opinion is we should ban the sale of anything that currently gets called 'AI' and also ban use of the term specifically so I shut up about it
All the "will 'AI' replace the humanities" shit is so boring, why aren't we trying to supplant random academic fields with other useful coding tools? Metasploit is going to replace comp lit. We'll be doing historical musicology with linters. Let's go
