Whatever else the future may hold, I'm hoping for a decrease in the yelling of "stochastic parrots!" in literally any conversation about so-called AI by people who wouldn't otherwise use the word "stochastic" in any other context. Memorising a phrase containing an obscure word and deploying it like a hand grenade to shut down a discussion has never struck me as a particularly helpful or inclusive strategy.

This is my “what it feels like to prompt an LLM to answer a question correctly” perfect analogy. https://youtu.be/OEmO-v2R4G0

@heydon I recently had a client building a table out of Shadow DOM elements, replicating the elements of an HTML table, and then completely flabbergasted that ARIA roles and properties would not propagate from one Shadow DOM to another.

I want to say 99.9% of the Shadow DOM use I see is directly related to over-engineering a very simple thing that usually is already in HTML.
