_Random post, tangentially related to pants, as the build tool used for the project in question._

The state of AI seems to improve at a staggering pace.. I'm setting up a new project at work, and gave it this prompt, after which it went on it's merry way, and 10 or so minutes later, I have a working scie packaged binary of my Python project! :open_mouth: (even including a Github workflow to build it, but not sure if that even works... haven't looked at it yet)

I always ask it to cite it’s sources as to where it figured stuff out. 
Often it’s like “oh hey, this blog post shows this workflow” (or whatever) when the docs aren’t enough. 

Like, is it inferring usage, or is it just repeating what it’s seen (similar to GitHub search for those terms)

Nice! Which of the AIs did you use for this?

And, as it turned out, the GH workflow worked pretty well (after some additional iterations on it)

I now have a release flow similar to what we've set up for scie-pants, with a custom brew tap and all :joy:  (in a fraction of the time it would've taken me alone)
