There's a special kind of irony to use AI to help out the people who hate AI.
It's not hypocrisy or anything negative like that, but I do find it amusing for some reason.

Was it? I feel like it was clearly meant to be smug and inflammatory rather than useful in any meaningful way.
I was gong for smug, inflammatory and useful at the same time.
There is an even more special kind of irony to see it failing as the top ranked story now is "Kiro: A new agentic IDE"
Already fixed https://github.com/simonw/tools/commit/f95b306be7b584f388256...
I know but the irony stands. We will get used to people getting embarrassed by AI results.

I mean, many people who "hate AI" don't think that LLMs are useless for everything. I'm very unconvinced by e.g. using LLMs for coding, but that they'd be good at tagging content, sentiment analysis, etc.? That's not really hard to believe.
