Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

From their blog: Acupuncture for Dogs: What You Should Know -- I can't tell if it was written by a chatbot or not, but it could very well be based on the article quality.

There are no real systemic side effects of using acupuncture as a treatment for your dog because it covers a more holistic approach. For dogs in poor health who could be at higher risk when undergoing certain surgeries or using certain medications, acupuncture might prove a suitable alternative.

Also note how they call their chatbot "brand-supportive". Of course it's not just an unlicensed robo-doc, but a billboard masquerading as an unlicensed robo-doc.

Actually the main reason I'm commenting is because I wanted to say, I love your username!
