there's only one use case yet and no one has been able to solve it. it's "something that is as intuitive and easy to use as a spreadsheet but with the robustness of an actual database." the smartest minds of our generation have tried to solve this, even made billions, but it all still sucks ass.
i see arguments like this sometimes and ... what's the thing. what is this "everyday annoying task" that an AI could actually do and that you could trust it to not totally fuck up? i cannot imagine the things.

I was laughing so much watching the Nathan For You episode where he meets the guy from Ohio who has threesomes with his brother. Shout out to J-Squad! They don't make guys like that anymore because of social media.
