If you see two comments about ants in the comments section, the total number of comments about ants in your comments section is probably not 2.

I work for a midsize company within retail and we are definitely shipping faster?

That would defeat the whole purpose. But I understand your point there are zero guarantees.

I agree given that it’s about competition and not just having fun.

“It blows my mind at how allergic AI bros are to consent.“

You make it sound like you have to use it.

Would you demand your mobile device manufacturer to rollback the features you don’t like and don’t use? Did you consent to it?

The allergy against AI is understandable. But that’s because companies tries to shoehorn it in everywhere. This however sounds like a perfectly fine use case, which is also optional to use.

I actually would absolutely love it if my mobile device gave me complete control to remove the parts i don't like and don't use, that'd be lovely. Instead you gotta install Graphene or something.

You make it sound like NYT has to include slop in the app and that the only way to do ingredient substitution is with AI.

No, they didn't make anything sound remotely like that.

Last chapter talks about the concept of ideas or “memes” taking its place.

Ideas that are beneficial for the human may be passed forward and survive. It got me thinking about religion, hell yeah I would tell me children about god if I believed it would save them from eternal suffering.

Humans also had a good run, but maybe it’s time for something different. The same way genes ceded the stage to memes, maybe organic brains and human minds are not the best possible way for memes to propagate.

I feel that the author mistakes intelligence with mental energy.

Even if you are smart you still have to budget your mental energy and one way to do that is to delegate tasks to AI.

Some people might hate writing documentation but love to write code and vice versa.

Delegating things you don’t want to spend time on is ok in my book.

That’s why the analogy “might as well let Claude hump your wife” does not hold, unless you really don’t enjoy that process.

Your comment reads like a tweet. But I agree with you!
