you could say it was very basic AI
nah ai is great.
My lukewarm take is that all this hate on AI is really just hating on big companies trying to squeeze money out of some new development. AI (or rather LLMs) are not the problem.
I personally like AI in its current state, still goofy and not a valid replacement for people. I definitely don’t like that all of these corporations are justifying their billions in spending by forcing it into any and every app they can think of!
Why do I need Gemini to suggest a list of items I’m gonna need in my notes app that I likely opened to create a list of things I knew I already needed?

As a kid I used to check out books from the library that had little BASIC games you could transcribe into your PC. Times have certainly changed.
Similar with the computer magazines, before they started coming with floppy disks.
I’m literally on an internship training course where the Exercises Left For The Readers are implementing Number Guessing Games on the various technologies talked about on the course. I’m like “thanks, but I read about this particular exercise extensively the BASIC age. I’m not going to redo these things unless your training material will have little cartoon robots. Like, you know, in the Usborne books or something.”
Why would an internship train you on an antiquated language that hasn’t been used in decades?
Well they train me in JavaScript frameworks and such. I allege this knowledge will be useless in a few decades. Or even less so, based on my meagre knowledge so far.
oh god, you’re making me think of the difference between a procedurally generated level and a randomly generated one.
The fucking generative AIs don’t even have anything to stop it spewing crap
wave function collapse is a vastly superior procedural generation technique to generative pretrained transformer
