Let's pretend I'm the audience, and imagine that in the past I said those things ("fix the bug" and "look at the code").

What should I say now? "AI works in mysterious ways"? Doesn't sound very useful.

Also, should I start parroting innacurate outdated generalizations about regular software?

The post doesn't teach anything useful for a beginner audience. It's bamboozling them. I am amazed that you used the audience perspective as a defense of some kind. It only made it worse.

Please, please, take a moment to digest my critique properly. Think about what you just said and what that implies. Re-read the thread if needed.
