The author works for a company that builds an “AI ad maker”. And they link to it in the first paragraph.




It would be fresh, just now and then to see a passionate AI bro who isn’t selling AI.

You know, I get it, earn those clicks. Spun that hype. Pump that valuation.

Now, go watch people on YouTube like Armin Ronacher (just search, you’ll find him), actually streaming their entire coding practice.

This is what expert LLM usage actually looks like.

People with six terminal running Claude are a lovely bedtime story, but please, if you’re doing it, do me a favour and do some live streams of your awesomeness.

I’d really love to see it.

…but so far, the live coding sessions showing people doing this “everyday 50x engineer” practice don’t seem to exist, and that makes me a bit skeptical.


Not necessarily a reason to dismiss them. If they believe in the bright AI future, it's only natural to work for an AI company.

1. Working for an AI company is different from actively selling an AI company.

2. An AI ad generator is one of the worst possible uses of AI I can think of.


I read a human interest article where someone said they were working on an AI for automatically turning medical-speak into something sick kids could understand, which currently takes top spot on my ranking for worst AI idea. Fobbing off sick kids onto a chatbot to teach them about their condition, what could go wrong?

People who think this would work and want to make it happen walk among us.


My wife is a pediatric ER doctor, I don’t even need to ask to know she’d absolutely hate it. Pediatric doctors and nurses don’t use medical speak when talking to kids, so that’s just such a stupid product.

"AI ad maker" sounds like a toilet that produces its own shit

Anyone up for creating an AI ad watcher?

Thank you.
