Wow, that is so dumb. I saw some crack pot dude trying to solve unsolved physics problems by using prompts like "imagine you are Einstein, then how would you solve: ...". Good to see he is not alone, but has Bill fucking Gates with similarly dumb AI takes.

This is even more dumb when even Joan f-g Rowling in her books about magic for children described how and why magic can't do this. One of the reasons I like Harry Potter - not for the plot or the human part, but for the magic there being quite similar to computers in our time. With similar limitations, except for unique cases.

So no matter how much one hates Rowling (I don't, she's done more good than evil by far still), she's smarter and more decent than most of the humanity. That sucks.

Lol. She lucked into an amazing world that managed to remain a good story despite her writing, not because of it. She's not an idiot, but literally every other piece of writing she's ever put out kinda slams the "smarter than most of humanity" line.
