  • The thing is… this setup works. But is it good? I too find text corrections to be a great application, but thinking about it I’m just blindly accepting most suggestions. I use that tool because I’m not confident enough to double-check my spelling and grammar, so naturally I can’t really double check the tool’s output either.

    In areas where I’m way more knowledgeable, the usefulness seems to vanish. Namely, writing code. It’s doing really silly, yet valid things. The only difference is that I can spot them in this case, while on text correction I can’t.



  • That’s a technicality. The term AI do encompass a TON of things, but it is as irrelevant as saying “crypto” isn’t just the scam machine we know. For most people, it is. And for most people, AI is “Gemini/Claude/ChatGPT”. And telling them the difference isn’t gonna matter at all.

    I wonder if some people compiled a list of terms that got so removed from their actual meaning because of advertisement/commercial use. Like, “wifi” is synonymous to “wireless internet access” to so many people, and yet it’s actually not.









  • From a technical point of view? It’s just software. If you give a software with semi-random outputs access to control external tools, it will do semi-random stuff and could cause harm. And since the people that loves these little runner also likes to run hundreds of them concurrently, with the ability to spawn more, they can cause harm real fast with no oversight.

    If you don’t give them uncontrolled access to anything though? Not much harm in that. But it’s harder to sell the “this is the future of everything” if you put pesky things like checks and limited capabilities for the sake of safety.

    So, nothing unique to AI, except the scale of it.
