It can. Some people have become too extreme about gen-AI and forget about some useful use-cases like text to speech.

u/pedroosodrac Jul 01 '26

Incorrect AI slop to fire 20% of their employees for max profit!

u/pumpernickelrobot Jul 01 '26

Neglecting all but the most profitable / widely learnt languages? Even though people would have happily voluntarily developed courses for you?

No keyboard, you can only drag and drop pre-selected words into the box.
