>You can just do things. I'm not an archaeologist, so I didn't know this was supposed to be hard. I just picked an old problem, tried the most obvious thing and threw some compute at it. Being a naive outsider might be a superpower now.

How to sound like the most insufferable clown.

My respect decreased when he even asked AI what to do with the results.

In his defense, without AI he would've googled the question, now he "clauded" it.

And then he told AI to make a webpage about his great "accomplishment".
