That's a very constructive way of responding to AI being hot trash.

Well, the OP reviewed the "AI" output, deemed it useful and only then implemented it.

This is generally how you work with LLMs.

I don't think they deemed it "useful":

  We’ve never supported ASCII tab; ChatGPT was outright lying to people. And making us look bad in the process, setting false expectations about our service.... We ended up deciding: what the heck, we might as well meet the market demand.

  [...] 

  My feelings on this are conflicted. I’m happy to add a tool that helps people. But I feel like our hand was forced in a weird way. Should we really be developing features in response to misinformation?
The feature seems pretty useless for practicing guitar since ASCII tablature usually doesn't include the rhythm: it is a bit shady to present the music as faithfully representing the tab, especially since only beginner guitarists would ask ChatGPT for help - they might not realize the rhythm is wrong. If ChatGPT didn't "force their hand" I doubt they would have included a misleading and useless feature.

ASCII tablature is not something I use and not something I know much about, but if you are correct then I think that might be a good reason to deliberately avoid such a feature.
