For anyone doubting AI as pure hype, this is the counter example of its usefulness

Nobody said AI isn’t useful.

The hype is that AI isn’t a tool but the developer.

I've seen a lot of developers that are absolute tools. But I've yet to see such a succinct use of AI. Kudos to the author.

Exactly, kudos to the author because AI didn’t came up with that.

But that’s what they sell, that AI could do what the author did with AI.

The question is, is it worth to put all that money and energy in AI. MS sacrificed its CO2 goals for email summaries and better autocomplete not to mention all the useless things we do with AI

Can you give an example of what you meant here? The author did use AI. What does "AI coming up with that" mean?

It’s about the AI hype.

The AI companies sell it like the AI could do it by itself and developers are obsolete but in reality it‘s a tool that still needs developers to make something useful
