Slop.

There was this hacker news post yesterday about open claw or something, and the nerds in the comments were explaining what they use it for and it was insane. Things like: it gives me and my wife a daily briefing, I take pictures of my shopping cart and it tells me what I've forgotten to pick up, it recognises me coming to the door and automatically plays music depending on my mood (knowing what it knows about me???), responding to my work emails and then giving me a summary at the end of the day(!!!), me and my wife vibe code apps together via voice command (I mean this one sounds like such bullshit), and other equally insane things.

Apart from the fact that I suspect they are lying and that they probably don't do all this shit, these dorks have completely outsourced every decision and thought they might have to this thing that's literally only been around for a heartbeat, and they talk like it's this essential component of their life they can't live without.

Like, how hard is it to make a shopping list and follow it? You might forget something, but are you telling me the plagiarism and lying machine is going to not also make a load of mistakes looking at a photo of your shopping cart when it can't count the number of R's in blueberry... Or you know, when you get home maybe just pick a song that you feel like playing, is that such a chore?

The one that I'll never understand is the people who delegate their entire job to the AI and have it respond to emails on their behalf. Do they actually have any idea what it is doing on their behalf?

Honestly I read all these 10xer stories and I have to wonder if they are all bullshit. If someone could show me this working I'd be a hell of a lot less sceptical, but part of me thinks these people are either scammers, whose work is more reliant on quantity of slop output over any sort of quality and reliability, or just AI boosters with a vested interest in promoting this crap.

End of rant
