Approximately the same amount as the comment I replied to.

The old saying "If a hammer is your only tool then everything is a nail" is absolutely pertinent to this comment thread.

how so? what assumptions are you making to reach that conclusion?

This all should be obvious to any human with knowledge of common colloquialisms. You aren't an AI are you?

The latest "hammer" is AI.

Lots of commenters here are suggesting to use a complex AI to solve simple text parsing. Maybe you can't see the problem with that, but it's like using 1000 Watts of power to solve something that should take 1 microwatt, just because "new, shiny" AI is here to save us all from having to parse some text.

I'm not making assumptions about what people are commenting about in this thread. Your comment comes off like a subtle troll.

What rule applies when the initial comment is not thoughtful and substantive?

I got a kick out of it.
