Not OP but for me it comes down to "asking a person" ≠ "asking a device". Besides just to be pedantic one of the thing you've described is not something an llm would be able to do, and for the second one... That's what watches and clocks are for. You don't need to have a datacenter running smwh in the world or a beefy PC to take a glance at the time. If you think you do, I personally wouldn't call others "a little strange" if I were you.
Agree. Also what upsets me the most is that to a great extent, all of these antics he pulls out are largely ignored by its userbase, meaning that most of the people using OpenAI products are either ignoring or ignorant altogether of what he truly thinks of them.
I'm not advocating for stopping GenAI usage because of this, but considering there are several equivalent competitors out there, it'd be mostly warranted to boycott OpenAI for these exact reason.
Otherwise the message that remains in the eye of these ghouls is that no matter how much you treat the world population as annoying cattle, they'll gobble it up in exchange for restaurant suggestions and rageslop
Yep that's true, on the other hand the trend I've been seeing in the last months is worrying me, in that the company I'm working for and other adjacent ones, the focus is to hand off the development to "managed agents" or whatever, relegating embedded engineers to basically just V&V or QA.
The increase in crap code has been duly reported by employees such as me and promptly discarded, considered just FUD by upper management
Not the best counterpoint to the argument IMHO, especially considering there are tens/hundred of thousand of people that do the same as you, and that has only driven rent cost up in the extended Milan metropolitan area, even 30-40 km further away from the city, and with roads that are not nearly capable enough to carry commuters' traffic, it just transforms the underlying issues into massive, daily traffic jams anywhere in the immediate area
