Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Sounds like a great solution people will be prepared to pay OpenAI $100B in the future for, and not at all like an incremental upgrade over StackOverflow with extra ecocide added.

Yeah after rereading my comment it's not super clear, but I'm not trying to endorse ChatGPT/OpenAI. I agree that AI is a pretty terrible solution for the use case of "search engine with a built in AutoTldrBot", because of all the reasons you mention. I was just trying to point out that it's being marketed as a replacement for actual software developers, and that's very very very far from reality at the moment.
