"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

If the agent can't tell a contextual comment from an actionable code line, then it is indeed a wasted token. Not because of the header, but because of the "AI" being a useless POS.

Which, to be fair, is the case in pretty much all scenarios.

Wasn't a comment, it was a header in a markdown prompt for ai agents to slurp into their context.
