Fake produktomtaler er ikke noe nytt, men dette er en av de mer åpenbare:
https://www.beredskapslager.no/produkt/beredskapspakker/komplett-beredskapspakke/

Identisk unaturlig språk, nesten plettfri staving, halvsannsynlige scenarioer og negative momenter som likevel snus til noe positivt.

Tenk å gå inn i apokalypsen med frysetørka mat.

Worth repeating: Claims of "AI" democratizing anything (coding, creative endeavors, etc) are always BS. The thing locking out people from doing that is not having the time/resources.

You want to democratize coding/art/creativity? Give people paid time off to do it and access to infrastructure. Easy.

"Tech is no longer a science; it’s about selling faith-based software. An anti-intellectual environment pointing to the future with promises of productivity and gold, anywhere from in the next year to after we die. Its true measure of success lies not in what people can do with the products, but how the products can shape people’s reality."

tbh, it's incredibly rude that there's just this constant button float on the edge of whatever I'm doing, claiming that a robot could do it better

Stop A/B testing every fucking thing. You don't need to do a fucking study to know that link underlines are expected and useful. You don't need to commission research to work out if making radio buttons look like checkboxes will make people want to defenestrate you. You don't need to A/B test whether a thing that DOESN’T LOOK LIKE ITSELF will fucking confuse people. It's self-evident.

"I am not here to make a careful comprehensive argument, because people have already done that. I am here to be rude, because this is a rude technology, and it deserves a rude response."

"But I am a hater, and I will not be polite. The machine is disgusting and we should break it. The people who build it are vapid shit-eating cannibals glorifying ignorance. I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself."

I Am An AI Hater

I am an AI hater. This is considered rude, but I do not care, because I am a hater.

Have you ever listened to a beatboxer and thought, imagine if a machine could do that?

The amount of times I want to get some directions in the car and I open up the Google Drive app is too damn high.

"At barbecues, I plate the food raw. I put the burgers in buns with cheese and lettuce and tomatoes. I glaze the chicken wings in bbq sauce. And then I lay them out on the table looking all nice, and when someone wants to eat something, I take it away and cook it for them."

That's your dev process, that is.
