Google may be getting AI to write good SQL, but they aren’t getting it to write good blog posts.

The Discogs integration is a great feature. I’ve checked out musicbrainz but it’s no where near as complete for the music I listen to.

One case I saw it used was for processing genomics data. It was kinda ok at first but when we needed to add a new sequencing type it was laborious.

Personally I don’t think awk is a good choice for anything beyond one liners and personal scripts. Here it was fine because it was (initially) some write-once academic code that needed to not be insanely slow.
