    Claude is popular with programmers. ChatGPT still has more name recognition in general. There are way more general white-collar workers than there are programmers.

    I see LLMs as a natural language interface to all knowledge. But ideally they would have custom tools for specific use cases like mine instead of trying to have one monolithic thing do it all.

    They’re normal working people. But I’m told some of them are employed by the same people that sell fentanyl and kill over territory. I wish it was simply made legal and regulated.

    I'm a web developer and find the playwright MCP to be genuinely useful. My LLM is able to navigate my site, measure the size of elements, see console errors, network requests, etc. This is the only MCP I've ever installed and haven't yet had any cause to use others. But I'm interested in hearing what other professionals are using.

    I don't think people spend enough time around random people. The more I interact with a fairly unfiltered stream of people the more I've learned to trust them. And that's with me spending most of my waking hours in the "bad" neighborhood of San Francisco where people are selling stolen goods on the sidewalk and the majority of people outside after midnight are prostitutes.

    Consider that some of the cited works would have been created 12-18 months prior to the article being written. Like the TV show. Or you might simply come across something someone wrote a year ago. That's not very long in normal human time scales. I think it's fair to complain about the general quality of AI-written text, even if the models the author is upset with are no longer the state-of-the-art.
