@davidgerard Leaving aside the specificity of this particular product...it blows my mind that people are willing to buy prompts.
There's "asking an LLM to do everything for you" lazy, and then there's "can't even be bothered to type out your own prompts" lazy.
I've got some more grist for the mill. There's some clowns that have LLMs spamming people via e-mail "thanking them" for their work. Rob Pike, just got one of those stupid e-mails and went nuclear on it.
Rob Pike is a very influential computer scientist and engineer (formerly from Google) - so a lot of the techies are seeing their idol say what a lot of us are thinking.
