As a software developer who took an elective in neural networks - when people call LLMs stochastic parrots, that's not criticism of their results. -
Microsoft has done something else that broke another thing in outlook.@MLE_online Right in the middle of a sentence is a completely natural place for an email signature, stop imposing your unrealistically high standards on small software startups who don't have the staffing to write code by hand

I'd like to comment on the common "AI is just a tool" thing: I'm a woodworker by training & that means a lot of machines - but almost every craftsperson knows how to do their job with hand tools, or "lesser" machines.@jwcph I've had the benefit of being fairly isolated from this kind gross over-dependence, and most of the people I've met who use these tools seem to have a realistic grasp on the scope of the problems they're trying to solve.
I'm glad I got to experience some struggle and growth while developing the more difficult skills of my trade before this crutch existed. The temptation NOT to seems to be pretty poisonous.
