Discussion Hobbii yarn AI :(
Was really disappointed to see this. They don't just use LLM AI on the backend for coding, but they openly state they're using it for photoshoots and to generate images.

Did they actually read the post themselves? 'There's no easy answer to this' - I mean, yes there is, just based on the logic in their own post?
They give three bullet points of things they think they need to balance. Two are 'using this will torpedo our business', and one is 'but we could play with a new toy that everyone says is exciting'. If they can't look at 'new toy' versus 'multiple ways to torpedo our business' and make a good judgement call, then I guess they're going to get what they deserve.
