       @Popehat Initially my impression was that it was a good tool for search engines to use to synthesize answers to questions, but as I understand it better, answering questions is totally the wrong use of the tech. It doesn’t have a grasp of what words mean, just the patterns of how people use them. It’s always bullshitting, even when it’s right.

       @foone I could fill a book with everything I hate about "don't be left behind" as pressure to use a technology, but this is the best point. Even with the most incredible, transformative technologies, space persists for people who don't want to use it. Email is cool, but it's 2026 and they still deliver paper letters. Word processors are handy, but they still sell pens. Christopher Nolan isn't exactly "left behind" shooting on film.
