Do you also treat your microwave as a person? Otherwise you could risk treating other people as a microwave some day.

This just sounds like convoluted way of saying you understanding much less than you would otherwise.

SimonLarsen··on Show HN: Sumi.css – CSS Framework

1. Believe it or not: some people are still not using AI.
