    Folks who evangelize AI always seemed weird to me. If someone has to try and convince you to use a massive breakthrough then its probably not as massive a breakthrough as one would think.

    We didn’t have thinkpieces on why cell phones should be used, or why we shouldn’t call that new (at the time) service Netflix trash. We saw immediate use cases and advantages and went in on them. The plagiarism machine largely doesn’t have that going for it.
