@FirstProgenitor
I have tried it to see if it has any use to me. It does not. Not in electrical stuff, not in programming, just... no. If I want particular information, I seek the writings of fellow humans who have known that information. If I want to bounce ideas off something, there's the proverbial rubber duck (often just a crazed monologue into nowhere because I have no problem looking absolutely mad).

@FirstProgenitor
And seeing a coworker playing with the image generation, I had nothing to say but "yup, it's ridiculous"

@ozzelot @FirstProgenitor LLMs have some good uses. "Translate this to czech". "Translate this to Javascript". Other stuff is more hit and miss, but I was able to do "I need graphics format which is basically width/height/fourcc"... and I got that. [And if you know format other than .dds that meets the requirements, let me know.]

@pavel @ozzelot @FirstProgenitor

Did you feel air move over your head as you read the OP?

@pavel @ozzelot @FirstProgenitor Imagine a modest, focused tool for nerds called "Data Structure Translator" which does that job OK-ish, and that was it. Instead we get that buried under an avalanch of slop machine instanity. 🤪
