I wonder if this says anything about the capabilities of AI. If it's better to bundle an entire headless office suite than ask your AI to build support for relatively well documented formats (or even to extract the file support parts it needs from Libra Office), that seems to suggest AI isn't as good as human devs just yet.

Or, it's dumb as hell to have an AI re-write Word every time it wants to output or present a document.

But let's focus on how this validates the belief that "AI bad."

perhaps onion2k meant that openAI could’ve reimplemented it once in-house on their side for the codex app?
