> to help out the people who hate AI.

Was it? I feel like it was clearly meant to be smug and inflammatory rather than useful in any meaningful way.

I was gong for smug, inflammatory and useful at the same time.

There is an even more special kind of irony to see it failing as the top ranked story now is "Kiro: A new agentic IDE"

Already fixed https://github.com/simonw/tools/commit/f95b306be7b584f388256...

I know but the irony stands. We will get used to people getting embarrassed by AI results.

This seems like exactly the type of problem human-written filtering systems fall into as well.

human-written filtering systems don't brag about having a solution for a problem in 2 minutes and fail.

It got 80% of the problem solved for OP, and the remaining 20% can be fixed by humans afterwards. Prompt early, prompt often (?)

This sounds more like a complaint about the human author, than the system itself.

Not at all, simonw's work is fantastic. But it was a funny #fail.

I mean, many people who "hate AI" don't think that LLMs are useless for everything. I'm very unconvinced by e.g. using LLMs for coding, but that they'd be good at tagging content, sentiment analysis, etc.? That's not really hard to believe.
