I love the idea of replacing "AI" with "cocaine" in essays:

"Part of the problem is that most people are using the free version of cocaine. The free version is over a year behind what paying users have access to. Judging cocaine based on free-tier cocaine is like evaluating the state of smartphones by using a flip phone. The people paying for the best cocaine, and actually using it daily for real work, know what's coming."

You know that “stop forcing AI into fucking everything” graphic that went around on here?

I bought the t-shirt. I get a lot of compliments on it.

The only negative response was from a friend who works for McKinsey. She read out the “everyone hates it” and said, “do they really, though?” as we stood near the check-in table for an event, and three people in line turned around and said, “YES!”

Go draw a horse and watch it run - this is the kind of silliness the internet was originally made for ...

"The worst fact about [AI] tools is that they work. They can write code better than you or I can, and if you don’t believe me, wait six months."

As someone who professionally reviews code written by others:

1 - That bar is incredibly low. Most coders are terrible.
2 - There's not been a noticeable improvement in code since those tools came on the scene.
3 - It's been six months away six months ago, 12 months ago, 24 months ago. It'll be the same in six months.
