mccOne thing about "AI" is with the technology OpenAI has (large neural network plus manual tagging) you could've made the best search engine ever. There could be a Copilot where you describe what you wanted and it finds an example of it in the corpus of open source software. You could go from a fuzzy image description to a stock image. These would be better than buggy code and fucked up images. But they wouldn't do that because the *service* OpenAI provides is obscuring that the content is stolen.
CodeByJeff@mcc I doubt that
I think we are all forgetting the years and years of general enshittification of the web - all the crap, out of date examples; pages written more for clicks than helpfulness; transition to video for everything; etc, etc
I feel this was the correct technology path to follow, but everything they did about how they went about it is an immoral mess
- with a focus on enshittifying it straight out of the box
