It will never stop being incredibly funny that in the past 24 months an untold legion of people have emerged from heroic doses of shrooms/LSD clutching a note that just has “what if u could chat with a pdf???” scrawled on it
I think if I chatted with my database it'd have nothing nice to say. It'd just bitch about the deadlocks, keyspace starvation, that other one it has to share everything with and all those people asking stupid questions.
i'd be fine with chatting with my database as long as it's in a structured way. Like a language I could use to query for information and insights on the data.
I'm not sure if that's going to take off in the age of AI. How about SQLM? I'd suggest SQLLM, but is it really a large model if it fits in a single repository?
What if SQL isn't that hard if you put some effort into learning it, and then you can enjoy conversing with data in a language that isn't intractibly fraught with ambiguity?
More importantly, I'd be afraid of what the database at work would have to say. My guess is a lot of not really nice things since the schema designers were idiots (luckily I had no hand in it, but I just get to deal with the consequences).
You laugh, but people in incel circles are heralding the nascent arrival of better than real AI girlfriends. She night as well live in your toaster or fridge if you're trying to be energy efficient.

It's a tech bro prosperity gospel. Same thing happens with stuff like stoicism, where the core tenets begin taking a back seat to worldly success (see most of Ryan Holiday's books).
Another instance of SV bros unknowingly LARPing spirituality is more obvious: the weird, intense religious-like fervor some people have about AI.
This stuff inhabits the void in people, and it becomes very obvious.

It is crazy to me how fast and how intensely cult-like AI became. It's even crazier when you consider the gap between their belief in AI (singularity, automate every job, next step for humanity, etc...) and their actual AI projects (make a fancy QR code generator or yet another SEO spam site...)
