Am I the only one feeling weird about the image they chose to illustrate the article? I'm not a professional in that field but I would probably feel offended if coding assistants were presented with a monkey in front of a computer.

Calling a musician a "cool cat" has been a slang term of high praise for jazz musicians since at least the 50s.

It's low quality AI slob. That's already offensively disrespectful to the readers on its own.

As a professional monkey in front of a computer, I feel offended.

Uh? Apart from the fact that the symbolism between a monkey and a cat is entirely different, I imagined it was because gato/ gatto means cat in Spanish/ Italian.

Nah. Cats are cool. S/he has a smart cool look. Most people would like it. (Not everyone.)

Disclainmer: I prefer dogs, they are more friendly and even part of the family, but I have to recognize that cats look more cool.
