Seeing people I respect calling their development process "arguing with chatbots" now is really getting kind of sad. There's no agency there, man, there's no choice. There's no understanding. You're standing at the craps table in a plausible-syntax casino, telling the dice they're wrong and to try again. Of course the house is winning.

@mhoye the current era of bad faith anthropomorphization has really sucked all the joy out of a lot of our old familiar complaints. "arguing with the build system / compiler / garbage collector" etc would get you sympathetic nods but now so much is connected to systems whose design is deliberate weaponized psychology.
If you pay per interaction why would the stochastic token slot machine ever solve your problem the first time?
If the stochastic token slot machine can see how long you will endure haggling over semicorrectness before giving up, why wouldn't the machine drag the conversation out the ragged edge of that every single time?
Do you not wonder why you're angry and tired all the time when your job is putting your whole face into a machine purpose-built to turn frustration and fatigue into revenue?

They’ve finally monetized the old Magic 8-ball toy.
