Here is someone sharing their experiment/code and the best that can be said is "gotta put to rest this phrase".

Not that I am particularly interesting in chat bots, but what is disconcerting is the attitude of hurling negativity into a thread of discussion.

Why not just skip it and not say anything and move on to another topic?

Maybe it's ok to be negative if this is a news piece from NYT, but it is sad watching that happen in response to someone showing what they've been hacking on.

"What did you do today?" -- "I built a cool chat bot"

"What about you?" -- "I told the person who built a chat bot to change the title, cause I didn't like his title".

He said something accurate very reasonably. You're just moaning about it. Do you have anything constructive to add ?

I didn't tell the author to change the title.

I just stated, that for me, yes that is only one data point, an improvement would be to leave the in xx LOCs out since it is meaningless.
