The latter is probably the most used part, which is why models are only useful if they scrape news sites.

You can also use it for regurgitating manuals, but generative AI for coding is counterproductive. Only the tool and gaming addicted people like it and pretend to be more productive, for which there is no public evidence. I don't see any software improving at any faster rate.

But if Instagram/Meta want it, everyone stands to attention and finds out the obvious problems years later. Kind of like in geopolitics.

I hope Meta switches Instagram to PHP/Hack so they leave Python alone.
