No, we definitely would not, but you aren't here to engage in any kind of honest discussion. Your assertions are simply not supported by reality.

That's funny, because the president (Republican) just signed an executive order forbidding states from enacting their own AI regulations. Meanwhile, California's governor (Democrat) is trying to regulate AI. Please explain how tha

This isn't a Javascript problem, this is a React problem. You could theoretically rewrite React and RSC in any language and the outcome would be the same. Say Python ran in the browser natively, and you reimplented React on browser and

I would at some point throw my phone out the window if it worked like this. Instead I choose to have zero help correcting anything I type on my phone. I proofread, and fix any errors before I hit "send". I'm also on a folding

About 2 years before Javascript existed I was very much into the web, first using the Lynx browser, and later Mosaic on an Amiga. I had also been doing a lot of AREXX script programming on the Amiga at the time. I remember telling a friend

I'm a happy YouTube Premium customer too, as well as a happy SmartTube user. The UX is just so much better in SmartTube than the Youtube app. So much customization is possible, and we can completely eliminate every bit of "Shorts&

Same here, we also both have YT Premium and use SmartTube. Our dislike of "Shorts" pushed everywhere in the YT app is what got us to switch to SmartTube. We watch Youtube on our 65" TV via Chromecast, so shorts are just reall

If the information it gives is wrong, but is grammatically correct, then the "AI" has fulfilled its purpose. So it isn't really "wrong output" because that is what the system was designed to do. The problem is when

I use Flightaware for detailed information about specific flights. They have tons of information about the history of the flight, past delays, etc. I use it to track specific incoming flights when I have to pick up someone from the airport.
