You know there's a saying in Russian, that roughly translates to: "an expert surgeon is capable of helping a bad dancer", which is on itself is a reference to another idiom: "a bad dancer always blames his own balls".

That's quickly becoming befitting for cases like this - so often people rush to blame AI without even trying to use their own reasoning. I don't know what to say, hope you find a good surgeon, because it is obvious - you're shit of a dancer.



"A good craftsman doesn't blame his tools" might be the western equivalent.


But that's not some lossless transformation - we've forsaken the beautiful poetry, complex relationship between dancers -> balls -> surgeons. I mean, the point was not to bash on bad dancers, no - I am not a bigot. Bad dancers are an important layer of society; they create good economy for surgeons to thrive. They create supplementary jobs - for every surgeon out there, there's a need for assistants, accountants, janitors, etc. A single bad dancer can feed multiple generations of people.
