@codinghorrorJeff Atwood @raganwaldraganwald 🍓 @baldurBaldur Bjarnason If you're going to point out very high personal biases:
I haven't encountered yet a problem that needed an "spicy autocomplete" chatbot to be solved(**) instead of me typing some code in some programming language I am fluent in or just search a few keywords in manual (or publication database) (*).

(*): and thus at a fraction of the cost. Both monetary or datacenter power.

(**): the opposite is true: I've seen chatbots utterly failing at handling unusual cases.
