Sure but like.. talking to a chatbot is like the most un-nerdy in spirit thing you can do next to playing football. Nerds are, imo, attracted to esoteric complexity, long bouts of focused, actual, solitude getting to the bottom of the something. it's why they are stereotypically socially misadjusted sometimes.
A "dork" is someone who likes AI a lot I think... They usually revolve more around a product or brand, and focus more on how great it is and everyone should like it. Rather than the "you wouldn't understand leave me alone" of the nerd.
I don't think you're familiar with the current state of AI tools then.
I'm sure you're writing lots of yaml files or whatever but it will never touch the kind of obsession and commitment any nerd had pouring over a DnD manual.
Either way, by it's very nature AI is about helping you do something else right? Its not the thing, its the means to do something else. It's just a totally different spirit and set of incentives imo.
