I've been a programmer for 12 years.
LLMs are crap at everything except writing snippets you could just copy from some website. Highly debatable whether they're quicker or better.
Very occasionally some niche problem occurs that they can solve, but it's more "oh neat," than "omg revolutionary."
Every good programmer I know has been saying this to me for months; meanwhile every not-great programmer I know has been trying to outsource their work to ai, causing more issues/delays than they if did it themselves.
A lot of these tools only seem good to people who are not great at their jobs.
I finished Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 tonight and it fucking wrecked me.

The worst are the how-tos.
Step 1) It is important to perform research and select the right materials for the task. There are many different materials available from, and you should carefully consider the pros and cons of each before choosing which one you will use blah blah blah...
A huge thank you to everyone that helped with my cover reveal yesterday. Your support really means a lot!

I thinks it because either:
A) Not much happens in the midlands, so the crazy stuff stands out.
B) Not much happens in the midlands, so people go a bit bonkers.
I'm from Notts too. Moved back there actually.
There was a review of a nice Nottingham restaurant recently titled something like, "Heaven in the Jaws of Hell" which seemed harsh. That night I had to walk through the town centre late at night and I was like "oh okay... maybe I'm just used to this."
I need to sneak this into my parent's country music playlist.

Like GBNews is so obviously bullshit only someone who was already too far gone would fall for it.
The BBC does just enough actual journalism to keep the average person from clocking it when they do go full propaganda mode.
The thing I hate most about them is they claim to be "impartial" and pay just enough lip service to that principle that most of the country falls for it. They then explot that trust to push specific narratives.
Explicit propaganda channels have a lot to learn from the BBC.
