I've never had to try lots of things in order to know that I won't like them.

That, and also I specifically loathe the way AI has been created.

In my heart I’m a code “artist,” and like all artists that have been more directly attacked, I also feel personally attacked by all of my stolen “art” that is now monetized by big corporations that do not give a single f*ck about beauty in the code, or whatever.

This may be a strange position, idk. Anyways, that’s the reason why.

You’re not wrong about it being stolen and monetized without consent. I’m picking up what you’re putting down.
Yeah but the cost of trying it is like 3 minutes of your time. Have you no curiosity?
Enough curiosity to have read and understood the papers, formalize some of the more grand theorems (they’re not that impressive once restated this way), and listen to the experiences of developers who’ve adopted it.

That’s more than 3 minutes. I’m not being glib when I say I’ve given it serious thought.

Not for this, no.
