https://chat.openai.com (GPT-3.5) to summerise this article:

- explain like I'm 10

Gave (the highlights)

1. Chat consolidation

2. Remembering stuff

3. Access to Everything

4. Making things easier

5. Being helpful

-- human here below

I'd love for the author to be right in his predictions. Arguably current AI has made understanding this article '4. easier' for me to understand already.

op here: @g_aristocrat is the author of the package who is a great person - he has put some feature requests for me really quickly. My screen wasn't showing the correct fonts (braille!) to show pretty graphs which it is now. I use the project daily as a sanity check overview of a server.

OP here. I agree - I'm exploring puzzles which are the most useful to programmers, and what makes them great. For example: https://projecteuler.net/problem=8 can be solved in a simple way which is very clear using functional programming (Linq in C#). Very enjoyable.

However some others eg Euler11 felt like hard work.

I've done the first 50 or 60 questions and got that far using programming (without the interest in recreational math). In general I really enjoy these puzzles.
