I honestly see thing touting AI to be an absolute gimmick, and beyond untrustworthy. So this definitely tracks. It’s been shown that AI isn’t at a level where using it for anything isn’t beneficial, in fact it’s the contrary. Marketers think that folks will see AI as making all things better, but if google’s recent implementation is any indicator, it’s something to steer clear of for the foreseeable future.

Maybe you're thinking of something more specific than me, but I don't think that's the case. What is being called AI is a broad field.

I think what Opus was able to implement for high packet-loss voice transmission is exceptional.

I also find Visual Studio in-line-inline-completions to be very useful.

That's far from the typical Chatbots and whatnot though. Which often suck.
