  Tech journalists mostly just suck. They barely understand what they are writing about. I think their industry resents us taking away revenue from them, so they write these ridiculous articles to stoke FUD against tech. I absolutely can't wait to see these people automated out of a job. I have zero doubts GPT-4 would have produced a better article given the same source information.

        It should. It's the same cognitive error one so often sees software engineers display, in this case reflexively, while speaking with undue confidence outside the field.

    Yep. Tech journalists are usually as versed in what they're talking about as people selling tech in retail stores.

  Please, a regression bug in an extension wouldn't get that many page views. Better post a slanderous hit piece on a major website, that will pull in the clicks.
