For no particular reason, I woke up fully refreshed (after sleeping so soundly I missed my alarm and was 30 minutes late for everything.). It's the first time I haven't felt TIRED in. I don't know how long. I forgot what that felt like. I forgot to MISS what that felt like.

Seems like every digital product I use now has a crappy "make an AI to do something useless" button in it.

It was still uncalled for.

Here is Bing's flagrantly misleading description of what it does. But people don't understand the words used and assume they justifies the incorrect information. It doesn't. Bing knows their AI is frequently wrong. They still put the non-information next to search results.

The worst part in the screenshot I've included is it mimicking the concept of sourcing a claim. Neither of the quoted sources suggest that Trinity says that specific quote. Not only is their summation algorithm / model incorrect -- it's lying about being able to source the claim.

They have calculated the cost of being wrong and decided it's not an issue. "Search" is being replaced with something that isn't a remotely similar product. This would be like slowly replacing all fruit juice with Kool-Aid. It tastes familiar but it'll rot your teeth.

Bing consistently summarizes incorrect movie quotes ahead of search results. It's infuriating that platforms today knowingly provide incorrect information via half-baked algorithms and models.

Who set the goals of the race I am running? I'm not really sure but it doesn't feel like they are my goals anymore.

I can always tell how terrible my day is going by how early I start thinking about what I'm going to eat for lunch.

Over April and May I also wrote 10 diary entries. So if you want more thoughts on any of the following you can find them here:

Longest movie -- Too Old to Die Young (2019) at 758 mins.Shortest movie -- The Co-op Wars (2021) at 59 mins. Weirdest movie -- INU-OH (2021).Cutest movie -- Marcel the Shell with Shoes On (2021)

Favorite of April -- Kagemusha (1980).Least favorite of April -- Pink Hill (2019). Favorite of May -- Cleaners (2019).Least favorite of May -- The Black Cauldron (1985)

Definitely slowed down my movie watching for April (18 watches) and May (12 watches). Here are both months ranked from favorite to least favorite.

9) Will AI ever do the non-coding stuff that programmers do? Maybe. In my opinion, it isn't close to that kind of function yet. People are conflating coding with programming.

8) So what does that mean for programming jobs? Programming jobs will become even less about coding than they already are. AI tooling will continue to get better a coding. It will continue to chip away at the boring, rote stuff.

7 cont) Essentially, there are a lot of programmers getting by doing simple boring things because there used to be a huge barrier to learning how to do those simple things. AI will smash that barrier open and let a lot of new people into the sandbox.

7) Many programmers are going to be sorely disappointed that it will get harder to collect a big paycheck simply for writing basic code. Once the barrier to entry drops and the coding itself becomes more accessible, "programmers" will be expected to do more non-coding things.

6) It is far more likely that programmers will continue to use AI to build tools that automate other jobs. There is a lot of process inefficiency that technology can help automate. That includes building APIs and services -- and all of that requires a lot of code.

5) Valuable programmers thrive on ambiguity and making tough prioritization calls. The choice of what to build is far more important than the code being written. AI can help make decisions -- but there is no currently available mechanism to let AI "be" a programmer.

4) AI tooling will significantly reduce the barrier to entry for new programmers. A lot of the existing cultural knowledge of programmers will be easier to search and replicate -- and the need to spend years working near old farts like me will diminish.
