> If someone told me that their Tesla's autopilot swerved them into a brick wall and they nearly died, I'm not going to say, "your newfound luddite bias is preventing you from seeking sensible middle ground. Surely there is no serious issue here." I'm going to say, "wow, that's fucked up. Maybe there's something deeply wrong with Tesla autopilot."

What a horrible metaphor for a tool that can translate pdfs to text. lol. The anti-AI arguments are just as, if not more, absurd than the "AI can do everything" arguments.

Per the original post, it's a tool that will waste massive amounts of your time on slop. Don't pretend that there are no negative consequences to the proliferation of AI tools.

I'm gonna need you to know that just because some random dev who wrote a blog said something doesn't make it true. You know that, right?

Wait, what? Who said otherwise?
I love how you compare this tool to a Tesla's Autopilot mode, then get called out on it, and are like "Are you saying these tools are perfect" lol.

  You didn't say otherwise explicitly, but you're definitely downplaying the issues discussed in the blog post.

  That's not really a satisfying response. If you disagree with the post, you'll have to mount a more substantial rebuttal than, "well what if he's wrong, huh? Have you considered that?"

Indeed. This post is just a congregation of AI-hating luddites.
