> Tech enthusiast will judge ai based on what it gets right, we’re interested in what “can” do.

Selecting only the cases where something gets something right is nothing to do with what it can do. A random number generator can drive a car if you select only the cases where it does so correctly (and given infinite iterations there will be such cases) but that doesn’t mean it can drive a car in any real sense.

I assume “tech enthusiasts” here means “AI koolaid drinkers”.

Those “AI koolaid drinkers” are a very vocal faction, not only on HN. Too many software companies are cramming “AI” wherever they can, users be damned.
