It's a big deal, and it wouldn't be hyped for no reason. If you think smart language models are just for "entertainment value", then I think your world view is at odds with others in the field. This is what the industry is hawking around, and you see a reflection of that on HN and other places. Eventually the novelty will fade, but this is still very new tech so I think there's still a lot more to come out before we get there. Now, this is just my view, but a Bard API is much more valuable news than a bug fix in a compiler or something.
