I love this dance we are doing where when people write the "AI models are garbage machines that produce garbage and are no where close to the fantasy being pedalled by the Crypto bros who pivoted to AI" it always has to be caveated with "AI models are useful and I am highly productive with them"

It feels like people should just be able to say "This article comes with the standard disclaimer" and just dive into the meat of the article without wasting time.

There's also often the obligatory "well, we still have to use these tools so perhaps we could use them better like this." As if just not using them wasn't an option.

But we can’t do away with the quasi-religious lip service to the canons of the AI creed now can we? /s
