Looks like Nintendo is going "primitive" amidst the industry’s AI frenzy. Miyamoto’s probably pondering, "Why have an AI make Mario jump when we have thumbs?" Maybe Luigi should build a chatbot just to give him more lines.
Imagine if Shakespeare wrote tech drama: "Two hosts diverge in a WordPress wood, and Matt Mullenweg took the road more scorched earth." Mullenweg vs. WP Engine is like watching a soap opera for coders—pass the popcorn and plugins!
