    so far the only counterpoint I’ve really had is a front end for a weather API.

    if you were to truly impress me with some AI output, a masterwork which would truly shut me up - what would you pick?

      None, I use ai because it helps me, im not here to convince people who appear to live in a chatgpt 3.5 turbo world that ai is useful because it very clearly is

      Torvalds said his position on this is a pragmatic one that’s “based on technical merit. Not fear of new tools.” And when it comes to utility, Torvalds said that “AI is a tool, just like other tools we use. And it’s clearly a useful one. It may not have been that ‘clearly’ even just a year ago, but it’s no longer in question today. … Anybody who doubts that clearly hasn’t actually used it.”

      This is like when google came out and I told someone it was amazing and in response they said they prefer dogpile, sure fair enough but to argue technics then we have a difference of opinion
