Your English is good, but the (probably smartphone keyboard) typo revealed you :-).

Well Google has activated access to Google drive, mail, etc for most users automatically (or maybe I just clicked yes sometime) and so far I think it's a net positive for me personally and don't here from any disasters publicly.

While technically this is rooted in the technological misconstruction of a missing separation of data and instructions.

However my point is: on the other hand, that would be the same if you outsourced those tasks to a human, isn't it? I mean sure, a human can be liable and have morals and (ideally) common sense, but most major screw ups can't be fixed by paying a fine and penalty only.

You mean people already employed bot gangs to boost retention just to squeeze out some authentic human feedback juice?

While this is directionally correct it does come down to a tonality, that I think wasn't justified in that case. But hey, it's the Internet and I'm not naive either.

While that's true, my tool (as part of the flood) didn't originate from the same spring, it's just something I happen to be building that same way, I did before the LLM wave. It's not vibecoded SaaS fast food.

I checked community guidelines before and think regarding Reddit, this is where it should be resolve in my option.

Sometimes time doesn't allow that for multiple communities simultaneously, but you are right. Still I think a lot of online communities are drowning in AI slob diluting the well thought about stuff that would deserve the attention.

True story, yesterday I tried to get some feedback from an industry relevant subreddit for a real estate quick check calculation tool (automatically extracts listing data into calculation and enables sharing investment ideas). The pure mention of AI brought up a whole crowd of fed up bullies that talked it down as vibecoding trash - which it really isn't. All those places are flooded.

This sounds pretty reasonable to me. What am I missing?

Maybe it still is supposed to sound fancy to say you didn't read any of the code. The guy definitely could very deeply understand, read and edit the code, he developed the industrial standard liberal for PDF editing (used by Dropbox etc).

Just saying what you want might be the future for development of some kinds of software, but this use case sure seems like a very bad idea.

I very much appreciate the vision he put into practice, but feel sorry for the project being acquihired kind of.

I challenged Gemini to answer this too, but also got the correct answer.

What came to my mind was: couldn't all LLM vendors easily fund teams that only track these interesting edge cases and quickly deploy filters for these questions, selectively routing to more expensive models?

Isn't that how they probably game benchmarks too?

For what it's worth: he has been saying for years, that they were only making the S and X for nostalgic reasons.

How about using some of that skills to make that page mobile ready...

I think affiliation is much more likely to be a relevant revenue stream for them in the future. Instant checkouts would be a game changer in my view. Especially for upcoming generations, that don't have the habit of scrolling the open web to get their stuff done, but are native to LLMs.
