The specter of AGI helps them obfuscate this
Incredibly simplistic. I’m having a hard time believing a real person wrote this, read it over and decided they had made anything resembling a point.

How about the fact that Google (ideally) sends users to you rather than sharing your work unattributed?

Can’t grep a notebook.

There’s a good insight in there about preserving your process of arriving at a conclusion, but it’s better done in obsidian or notion or something like that.
