I didn't say they're "unusable". When I did use them it went great because I didn't ask for random advice on subjects. I could even get ChatGPT to oneshot code for me.

Doesn't make it any less ghoulish the way it's all trained on things humans made for humans. So yeah, I'm glad I don't need this stuff. You may need it for your job, I don't. Neener neener! I don't need it for my countless side projects I could not make reality in 10 life times, either. Because I know if I finished them all, I'd just come up with more stuff, there is no end, so simply going at my own pace and smelling the flowers, loving every insect, is just as well. I like it better, that's why I do it.

So why wouldn't I shit on something I have no use for, because of all the qualities it has that deserve to be shit upon? I'm free. "But others are not" -- then get free, but get out of my hair about not being free.

> if I search my file system for "foo" a trillion gazillion times, it will not return "bar" once.

Do you understand what this means? I say "this bike cannot fly to the moon, I prefer my moon rocket". And you say what if they can be improved? Fine, improve them. Don't question me because I go by what is real now, rather than what you'd think is possible or around the corner. It's not a game with a few bugs, where mostly bugfree games also exist. There is no way from here to there I see, and if you disagree, walk it.

I lose no time by doing something else in the meantime. Find the promised land and I'll be there with my feet on the table in 0.1 seconds, pretending I founded it -- don't worry about that. But until then I won't stumble around some corporate slop desert with you because I think there is no there there, and basically doing anything else is preferable.
