Functional illiteracy and lack of any capacity to hold any context longer than two sentences has long been a plague on HN. Now that we've outsourced our entire thinking process to "@grok is this true", it has now claimed almost the entirety of human race.

soulofmischief: complains that AI-skeptics would say the Wright brothers were idiots because they didn't imediately implement a supersonic jet

ares623: we were promised supersonic jets today or very soon (translation: AI hype and scam artists have already promised a lot now)

eru: The passive voice is doing a lot of work in your sentence. (Translation: he questions the validity of ares623's statement)

me: Here are just three examples of hype and scam promising the equivalent of super jet today, with some companies already being burned by these promises.

    Apply your own "functional literacy". I made a clarification that those outside of an industry have to separate the opinions of professionals and hype artists.

    The irony of your comment would be salient, if it didn't feel like I was speaking with a child. This conversation is over, there's no reason to continue speaking with you as long you maintain this obnoxious attitude coupled with bad reading comprehension.

      This has been said a thousand times before, but allow me to add my own voice: the era of humans writing code is over. Disturbing for those of us who identify as SWEs, but no less true. That's not to say SWEs don't have work to do, but writing syntax directly is not it.
