Mannerisms aside, they are easy to spot from having inhuman amounts of trivia knowledge

My n=1 study: I built my living room lights about 8 years ago and have had to swap 1/20 lamps since. Perhaps try a better manufacturer?

No, this is valid criticism. Oai gives the impression anybody could get similar results at a similar price, but that’s very likely not true. This is marketing first, then mathematics.

There are plenty of current human bands that play this music really well though...

They are weirder than you think. They interact with flavor, but these are a superposition of three mass states and it all oscillates. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutrino_oscillation

I noticed the change to trust already in the previous release. To uninstall something from a not yet trusted tap, I first have to trust it, then uninstall, and then untrust it. This feels a bit weird, but maybe it makes total sense...

But here you are the product AND you pay for it. At least I think you still get ads and tracking…

Hmmm, both my grinder and espresso machine are quite reparable with parts you can order from the manufacturer. Very much unlike my iphone…

Hmm, here's a thought... If you want to stand out, it doesn't matter that some things now are easier for everybody, what matters is that that you are able to get better results than others. Learning multiple languages gives you more the ability to use them. It improves your thinking, makes you a better coder, and more able to understand different techniques. LLMs are tools, to use them better than the next person you need to understand what to ask, and what a good answer looks like.
