People want to think of their computers as a little dollhouse of AI running around doing stuff for them.

OpenClaw is just a toy. There is no use case for it and I haven’t heard of anyone do anything remotely interesting with it. People like to vaguely say it “manages” stuff for them, whatever that means.

Anything requiring serious automation can be automated deterministically via a script, probably written by an LLM.

If you want a coding agent, get a coding agent, you do not need OpenClaw.

What an enormous waste of money and effort (Actually, there’s no effort at all, it’s just AI slop running wild)
