Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Depends on the implementation.

Just about everyone I know loves how iPhones can take a picture and readily identify a plant or animal. That's actually delightful. Some AI tech is great.

Now put an LLM chatbox where people expect a search box, and see what happens... yeah that shit sucks.

As I biologist I'd like to correct your sentence: "iPhones can take a picture and pretend to sometimes manage to get close to identifying a plant"

It sucks at identification too
