Is not false statistics. "Nobody wanted or asked for this" is literally true.
- jstanley 1y agoProof by counterexample: I want this.

- jstanley 1y agoYes, I use Cursor every day. It has changed my life.
- stevedonovan 1y agoBut this is one thing that Gen AI is genuinely good at, constructing computer programs under close human supervision. It's also the most profitable (but not enough to justify valuations) Also, it may be a big thing here but its pretty niche in the larger scheme of things The article is about it encroaching in the domain of human communications. Mass adoption is the only way to justify the incredible financial promises.
- kasey_junk 1y agoI use Claude at least weekly to help write documents for me. And I’m a good writer, who spent a lot of time and energy getting that way. I have a friend who is a terrible writer who I do proofreading for. He uses chatgpt and it’s made a world of difference for him in getting things accomplished and communicating what he wants. I think there are lots of valid arguments against llm usage, but it’s extremely tiring to here how it’s not useful when I get so much use out of it.
- SpicyLemonZest 1y agoThe article leads with a feature to get AI to write your emails for you. I personally don’t have much use for that, since I like writing and I’m pretty fast at it, but I know multiple people both inside and outside of tech who’ve told me they do this for most of their long emails now.
