Abstract generation in progress

The dragon swims in shallow water, being teased by shrimps; in the pond, without fish, shrimps become arrogant. An AI agent called “Lobster” can see the blind pursuit of the masses, but its users haven’t yet gained profit. Installing Lobster has already become a business, with many in Shenzhen rushing to set it up. People believe the pond behind Lobster is deep; only in shallow water do you realize who isn’t wearing pants.

I come from a finance background, with some data analysis experience after leaving the industry. So, during the first week of Lobster’s rise, I also followed the trend and rushed to install it. The fantasy was beautiful, but reality was harsh. Lobster isn’t as easy to use as imagined, nor as powerful, but the potential for imagination behind it is enormous.

Just maintaining a healthy Lobster is already quite challenging, let alone directing it to handle daily tasks.
