Why is the ruby/rails community so weird. Half of us just quietly make stuff, but the other half seems to need to sporadically reassure everyone that it's not dead, actually.

Half the net merrily runs on PHP and jQuery. Far more if you index on company profitability.

Some things are an anti-signal at this point. If a service provider starts talking about AI, what I hear is that I'm going to need to look for a new service provider pretty soon.
Yes now at doctors offices you have the option to sign an agreement for the doctor to wear a microphone to record the conversation and then AI tool automatically creates a report for the doctor. AI and all aspects of medicine seem to be merging.
This kind of thing scares me knowing how bad AI meeting and document summaries are, at least what I’ve used. Missing key details, misinterpreting information, hallucinating things that weren’t said…boy I can’t wait for my doctor to use an AI summary of my visit to incorrectly diagnose me!
True hah. Of course even if they didn't already most AI libs are actually C++ libs that Python interfaces with, and Ruby has probably the best FFI of any language.
A former customer of mine is creating AI apps with Rails. After all what one is those apps need is to call an API and output the results. Rails or any other system are more than capable of doing that.

Not everything needs to have bloody AI.
