> It’s still nice :)

This is the thing about the kind of free advertising so many on this site provide for these llm corpos.

I’ve seen so many comparisons between “ai” and “stack overflow” that mirror this sentiment of “it’s still nice :)”.

Who’s laying off and replacing thousands of working staff for “still nice :)” or because of “stack overflow”?

Who’s hiring former alphabet agency heads to their board for “still nice :)”?

Who’s forcing these services into everything for “still nice :)”?

Who’s raising billions for “still nice :)”?

So while developers argue tooth and nail for these tools that they seemingly think everyone only sees through their personal lens of a “still nice :)” developer tool, the companies are leveraging that effort to oversell their product beyond the scope of “still nice :)”.
