I enjoy retrocomputing a lot, being a huge part of my life.
I do not want to see advancements made by a technology I truly despise. I'd rather see less impressive, handmade projects (therefore, more impressive) rather than slop.
Feel free to kick my ass.
AI/ML myopia is about as useful as Linux-myopia was in the 90's. Its here, its not going anywhere, it is getting widespread adoption.
Slop is real, but then so are accurate, timely, and well delivered products. Its up to the human, not the tool - same as it ever was.
You've made your decision. You're kicking your own ass.
