    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?

      At best, dumb brute force computation power.

      It is about as meaningful as news that a computer found the 10....0th digit of Pi.
