Seeing that human written JSON structure convert to a more human readable few shot example in the code makes this feel like a step backward. Easier for the human to write the human readable example. Yes it’s doing file access and may fulfill other programmatic tasks that aren’t just prompting, but retrieving files quickly goes to RAG or similar, and the logic gets so complex an actual programming language begins to make more sense.

This is kinda misleading and confusing as a lead. I could literally say:

I like that they've provided ways to define schemas and standardized function-calling/tools, plus CLI helpers. But I find the page quite overwhelming hype-y. This could be reduced to a 30 line readme with much clearer examples. When did shipping JS libs as product-y websites become a thing?

I don't get it from the landing. Is this like a fake code language that a LLM can interpret? Is the syntax invented on the go? Like if I ask GPT:

"Imagine the following code belongs to a known language and execute it"?

This looks like a useful tool but.. please review your generated docs for utility. """ Be ambitious about what you want your script to do Remember, LLMs in GenAIScript can do things that no other software has been able to do. Think outside the box in the ways that you use it. LLMs can critically review a document, write poetry, and analyze images, just as a starting point. They have built-in expertise on many differe…

This is hilarious!

ok Microsoft, so you are trying to make something useful out of LLMs. But now that you have one hell of a reputation to overcome, the questions are: Is this happening on device? Without sending anything to the internet? And is it going to be REALLY FUCKING CLEAR when you change that in the future? with the option of FUCK NO instead of "maybe later"?

There are absolutely zero indicators that Microsoft will ever STOP being privacy-invasive.

There's nothing about improving their ability to effectively process this data and draw actionable conclusions from it that makes them more likely to stop.
