When you view AI as just something that is"good" at writing poems or generating images, then yea I see your point. But when you look at all the other things it can do, you see some serious potential. I'm certain it won't all be good, but we'll get some positive outcomes too.

I'm not sure where Blockchain fits in here, but AI driving your shopping experience is like... 20 years old

I'm not sure that's true. Ambient agents for example go off and do stuff without a conversation. It's a delegation.

The long running ai agents that write code remind me of monkeys generating Shakespeare.

I'm not going to hold my breath.

I like seeing jobs that involve creating AI agents. This is better than the normal messaging of: these AI agents are coming for your livelihood

That's a fair point. But even with the transparency we have from those, we have ample misinformation. Ironically, I suppose grok would work better for what you're saying.

Time to introduce them to Haskell I suppose!

If nothing else, hopefully he has learned to be more weary of people and not to fall for these types of things.
