What Hacker News says?
I don't think the author is in the camp of unconditionally hyping AI: https://dmitrybrant.com/2023/03/25/artificial-stupidity Even without that other article, this really reads like the author tried it for menial tasks on a neat passion project, and reports his success on it. (I'm a kernel developer, so I can empathize.)
