I assume this is some AI allegory of it crammed in everywhere? Pretty poor story, not to just say it outright what they're really trying to say.

Pretty poor story, not to just say it outright what they're really trying to say.
- noduerme 1y agoI took it to be about plastics. Maybe the fact that different people can take different meanings from it makes it a better story than if they just said it was about one specific thing.
- xigoi 1y agoThe last line makes it clear what the intended meaning was.
- noduerme 1y agoThat's called, alternatively "burying the lede" or "overly literal," depending on whether you think the writer should have included it. I think the piece would have been better if they'd left it out, but up to that point I thought it was pretty good.
- bravesoul2 1y agoThe last line the A and the I are blue. I was half hoping it was about SaaS subscriptions. Or ads. Or the Smurfs.
- llbbdd 1y agoYeah the A and I in the last line are highlighted to hammer it home. I'm not sure where this ire comes from, I'm annoyed at seeing dumb AI gimmick features pushed everywhere too, but it has uses and doesn't seem to warrant the weird moral high ground people seem to take about it. This post too repeats the "burning down a forest" line that continues to be silly and the people who repeat it don't seem to care that it's false.
- Rotundo 1y agoWe were a blockchain-first company! And now we are AI-first! Please think we are still a relevant company! Please invest in us! Give us money! It's a bit transparent, is it not?
- llbbdd 1y agoOnly on HN. In my actual life some of the tools I use have added the (yes, annoying) "Try our AI!" buttons but I haven't been anywhere near driven to blog about it. Sometimes it's even useful (Google Drive has handled this pretty well I think). But blog posts like this have a kind of "Think of the children!" vibe that I haven't fully understood yet.
