Tbh I’m old. The first computer I ever used didn’t even have a GUI. That a machine can take my specs and spit out a spreadsheet is fucking unbelievable to me, and I refuse to become so jaded that I can’t be impressed with the leaps forward that stuff makes.

Yeah, so far when someone shows me a concrete example of this amazingly complicated thing that GenAI helped then realize, I think “really… that’s it?”
It’s a decent reminder that a lot of people have more modest needs and a lot of the enthusiasm can come from that, and maybe that’s more understandable.
