HN comments feel like a parallel universe.

If AI doesn't make you more productive you're using it wrong, end of story.

It's refreshing to see people acknowledge, "holy shit, the robot can do what?" when Lemmy feels dogmatically opposed to demonstrable results. (For diffusion tools, detractors are reduced to "well that doesn't count.") But the robot's still dumb as hell. A guy claiming to run Claude in a while-yes loop to create a new programming language named his script after Ralph Wiggum. And he still had to git-revert every so often.

If you ask it to do something, the machine will bumble onward, but you can't trust it with any damn thing.
