Eh, I think the HN crowd likes fast because most tech today is unreasonably slow, when we know it could be fast.

It's infuriating when I have to use a chatbot, and it pretends to be typing (or maybe looking up a pre-planned generic response or question)...

I'm already pissed I have to use the damn thing, please don't piss me off more.

  • Press enter.

    Wait.

    Wait for typing indicator.

    Wait for cute text-streaming.

    Skip through the paragraph of restating your question and being pointlessly sycophantic.

    Finally get to the meat of the response.

    It’s wrong.

  • What's sad is that I always open grok.com if it's a quick simple query because their UI loads about 10X faster than GPT/Gemini/Claude.
