Was out on a quick birding trip during lunch today and met another birder. An elderly lady.
She asked me what I did. I told her that I’m a programner. She said: Me too!
So naturally we talked for a bit.

I briefly mentioned AI and that I hope there is still value in the knowledge and experience I have. She quickly responded: The whole AI thing is bullshit! It will not go away but it’s clearly over-hyped. Don’t you worry!

Made my day. For several reasons. 🥹
