> Would be cool to see the live reaction of Rob Pike to this comment

Based on everything public, Pike is deeply hostile to generative AI in general:

- The Christmas 2025 incident (https://simonwillison.net/2025/Dec/26/slop-acts-of-kindness/)

- he's labeled GenAI as nuclear waste (https://www.webpronews.com/rob-pike-labels-generative-ai-nuc...)

- ideologically, he's spent his career chasing complexity reduction, adovcating for code sobriety, resource efficiency, and clarity of thought. Large, opaque, energy-intensive LLMs represent the antithesis.
