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.

AI is going to be this eras Betamax, HD-Dvd, or 3d TV glasses. It doesn't do what was promised and nobody gives a shit.
No, I’m sorry. It is very useful and isn’t going away. This threads is either full of Luddites or disingenuous people.
I have friends who are computer engineers and they say that it does a pretty good job of generating code, but that's not a general population use case. For most people, AI is a nearly useless product. It makes Google searches worse. It makes your phone voice assistant worse. It's not as good as human artists. And it's mostly used to create dumbass posts on Reddit to farm engagement. In my life, AI has not made anything better.
