I dont think thats necessarily true.

FWIW im team "AI can be a useful tool", but on the day when other people's chat bots start emailing my chat bot who summarises it for me im just going to go throw my laptop in the river.

I think Linus has kind of addressed it: if you found it with a tool then we already found it.

Maybe im being naive. IDK. Im so sick of tech just generally.
