Where's the shovelware? Why AI coding claims don't add up

This post doesn't make any sense.

I've never seen an LLM proclaim anyone to be an expert unabetted, alone the leading expert globally. And on the other side of the coin, very few people are willing to believe an obvious sycophant making claims of their greatness they themselves don't even believe.

I don't think much of Travis Kalanick, but this kind of journalism sucks, the paper is so yellow I can barely read it.

I don't want to forego addressing your point though, and yeah, Kalanick seems to be one of the people delusional enough to believe what the bots tell him. That said, I'd argue that even then, it isn't the LLM that's puffing up his ego, it's actually his self-aggrandizing interpretation of the interaction. I doubt Grok was fawning over him and telling him he's was the smartest specialist physicist out there.
