I'm working with someone who uses github copilot and a lot of my feedback boils down to "that's something that people used to do in #python but it's obsolete now" because *of course* that's the sort of feedback I'd give. Of the code that github stole, most of it is always going old because, like, more things happened in the past than in the present. So now we live in a very weird present-future where allegedly-cutting-edge "AI" is telling us to do Python 2.7 idioms like class ClassName(object)

"More things happened in the past than the present" is an excellent quote and I'm probably going to steal it.

✅ Fake nerd stuff
✅ Far too long
✅ Talk page is full of discussions about the length of the article
✅ No citations
