Is React.PureComponent still valuable to use, even with functional react that's mostly used today?

Btw. I would love to see a React project (SPA) that scores 100% on page speed insights

Absolutely! React.PureComponent is still valuable, even in the era of functional components. While functional components with hooks have become more prevalent, React.PureComponent continues to serve a crucial role in optimizing class components...,

The primary advantage of React.PureComponent lies in its automatic shallow prop and state comparison in shouldComponentUpdate. This comparison helps prevent unnecessary re-renders when the props or state haven't changed, which can lead to performance improvements.

However, it's important to note that React.memo, the equivalent for functional components, achieves a similar optimization. When using functional components, you can leverage React.memo to achieve memoization and prevent unnecessary renders. The choice between React.PureComponent and React.memo often depends on your project's structure and your team's preferences....

This is a great example of why AI is not going to take over our jobs. While the eventual conclusion is correct, it still tries to sell PureComponent as a good idea in the first sentence, because it refuses to give a single concrete answer to any question. It always has to look at the question from different viewpoints, even if it means that it has to create a fantasy to achieve a 2nd viewpoint :p

When I use chatgpt for things I write, I only use it to detect grammar errors and stuff, If I tell it to do more, my text completely loses the essence, or the voice of me, becomes a bit bland....

In fact, when I checked the introduction of the article with zeroGPT, the probability that this article was written by AI was measured at 100%.
When I checked the introduction of one of my articles translated using Bard, it came out to be about 50%, and the probability tends to decrease as the number of characters increases.

In this case of the article, the probability also decreased to 50% as the number of characters increased. What is the truth?

No tool can predict accurately whether something has been generated with AI or not. On images maybe if the given AI adds hidden information but regarding text? No way.

There have been instances of anti-plagiarism and anti-AI tools that output false positives, punishing college students around the globe.

In this case it's super clear to me because of the wording, structure and so on. Could a person write that? sure, but it's way less probable because even though the grammar is correct the pragmatism of what is written is below average, AI has been trained with Internet content so it has tendency to write things near SEO shitposting level 😅
