    This is a strange newsletter post. It’s harping against AI but seems AI-written itself.

    Its ultimate conclusion:

    “I’ve come to the conclusion that a language model is almost always the wrong tool for the job.

    I strongly advise against integrating an LLM or chatbot into your product, website, or organisational processes.”

    Seems so obviously biased that I can only understand it with the context that the writer is trying to sell their book for €35

      The post makes sense for 2023. Today, not so much.

      Also, definitely not AI written if the date is accurate.

        Which is hilarious.
