    How many of these "news" articles are we going to get?

    This for me, isn't interesting, it required no skill, no imagination, in fact it seemed like it happened by dumb luck.

    So we have entered an age where an army of know-nothings direct models to old forgotten tasks so they can get 15 minutes of un-deserved attention?

      yes and no. AI is great for patter-maching and finding solution by "assonance".

      I agree with you that these are not "trilling" discovery but they can be worth something anyway.

      Like you, I do not like this news also because I think they will be used to just "push" the next two IPOs (Anthropic, OpenAI).
