Hah, yeah, although the process here wasn't as cynical as you're making out.
I blog about things that catch my interest, and the coding error in Copilot caught my interest. Usually when I do a blog post about the 'right' way to do something, it's triggered by seeing it done 'wrong' somewhere. Usually I can't point to whoever did it wrong, because it's unfair, and as a result I get a lot of replies to the post like "duhhh everyone knows this already". But in this case it's AI creating the error, so it feels fine to point to the source of the error.
Rather than jumping on a hot topic to farm hits to my blog, I'm blogging about something that caught my interest, and it caught my interest because it's a hot topic.
- pyrale 5y agoI see no harm or cynicism in doing so, either. I edited my original message to make it clearer. I'm completely fine with chasing an incidental topic, my comment was in reaction to the parent's comment about people going offtopic, while, to me, it's pretty logical that the topic is going to be the news while it's still hot.
