I spent $266 and four AI models to own my tablet. GLM-5.3 finished it in a day

I don’t feel hoodwinked. There’s just zero point in letting AI write stuff like this because it’s such egregious bullshit. If you want to write something, write it. If you want AI to parade something for you, what are you actually looking for? A pat on the back and a round of applause?

I just don't understand this stance. The article was still super interesting and was definitely worth the read(imho).

Because it’s nonsensical chewing gum. I just read the whole thing to see if I was missing something but it’s not changed my opinion. You have to plough through so much dramatic garbage to get to the actual message.

I’m glad you enjoyed it, but having read it in full now I feel like my time has been wasted and I’ve not really learned “here’s how I hacked my tablet using AI” and it hasn’t left me with any coherent learnings.

>>You have to plough through so much dramatic garbage

But the dramatic stuff is the interesting part? Like, it makes for a fun read, instead of reading yet another research paper that's dryer than the Sahara desert. But, to each their own.

>>and it hasn’t left me with any coherent learnings.

Well, I guess you already knew that all of this is possible or even that this tablet can be hacked this way. I did neither, so I learned something useful.

I don’t find AI drama prose interesting to read, I find it exhausting and annoying. But as you say, each to their own.
