AI brain rot continues but now it's reaching unimaginable levels and infecting browser APIs, wow!

Why is it brain rot? It still blows my mind that it’s even possible for a low-power device to talk and behave like us. For all practical purposes, LLMs pass the Turing test.

This a major leap forward in human innovation and engineering. IMO, this could be as influential as the adoption of electricity/setting up of the power grid.

One small aspect: it is training developers not to learn their tools. We now have a generation of "software developers" who think they can just lean on "AI" and it'll make them more productive. Except all they're capable of is outputting poorly put together inefficient crap, at best.
