I don't know much about coding or computers (what with not being a computer scientist and all), but the things you said all feel true to me. Reading panicky articles from others (or even just the panicky titles) (and even from people who are supposed to be experts) just rings false. Maybe all the panic everyone has been trying to show my whole life has made me unresponsive to it at this point, but I can only get myself as worked up aabout this being the end of everything for humanity as global warming or climate change or whatever they want to call it this year. If it puts my midwit ass out of my easy government job I'll just have to deal with it, won't I? Maybe our elites will promise us all jobs and move us into urban camps and then promptly forget about us like in those two episodes of DS9 and only a riot and a tense hostage situation will save the day. I volunteer to be a hostage. I don't think I'd make a very good hostage-taker. Well, if I don't lose my government job and we do end up rounding people into camps I may very well end up with that fate.

For clarification (I, and perhaps others, sent JB the Intercooler article):

The author of The Intercooler article - Dan Prosser - presents a comparison of Enzo Ferrari biographies written by both Chat GPT and Andrew Frankel, who is Prosser’s biz partner at The Intercooler.

Prosser is a fine writer, better than most in my opinion. Frankel is a superlative writer, among the absolute best.
