• No_Tadpole_5146: Everytime I’ve ever used AI to code , it’s so full on itself when coding “oh yeah this is your exact problem here!” And It just adds more and more onto the code, dozens of useless lines that do nothing, and never a single try catch or bound setter. It’s fine getting you started and does speed it up, but if you aren’t introduced to a lot of coding options or terms, ai won’t get you there

• pinkpugita: I find it fascinating that Otzi’s attacker never looted his axe and items, implying it was an act if murder. Otzi has defensive wounds but ultimately died from an arrow shot from the back. Scientists say he would have died in minutes from bleeding, so he didn’t run far off from his attacker.

My husband has done this for an elderly relative (not traveling from Honduras but cross country). Yes there’s time and expense involved, but it’s what you do when a relative needs one on one help to get to their destination safely.

Ditto the “it’s not just x, it’s y.” I’d look for the broader feel of the text- to this day, LLM generated text just causes my eyes to slide right over it. It’s basically unreadable, not in the sense that it fails to look like text, but in the fact that it’s so devoid of information that there’s no reason to read it.
