Whatever you believe about what the Right Thing should be, you can’t control it by refusing what is happening right now. Skipping AI is not going to help you or your career. Think about it. Test these new tools, with care, with weeks of work, not in a five minutes test where you can just reinforce your own beliefs. Find a way to multiply yourself, and if it does not work for you, try again every few months.

Piss off.
very sorry to hear that
Please use it bro. Skipping it will ruin your career. Please. Think about it, you want to use it, right? One more AI, it’s the future, just please use it, bro. You’re missing out, just give it a try.
Yup that’s 100% what it says
I’m already having a hard time pushing back against the very real AI hype ocean around me…skepticism IS warranted.
Reversing this and calling that skepticism “anti-AI hype” like there are giant worldwide marketing campaigns and billionaire financing for “anti-AI” sounds very silly.
PS: and I want cheap RAM back!
Skipping AI is not going to help you or your career. Think about it.
OK well I’ve thought about it and I still don’t understand. Surely, this thousand word essay can explain what ““AI”” can do right? Surely it’s not the same vague nonspecific claims about “missing out” on the future?
It is simply impossible not to see the reality of what is happening.
Huh. Guess I’m just really dumb then.
you can absolutely hate ai and everything thats happeneing right now and still work and learn with the shitty tools being forced into our hands
you dont have to stop pointing out how much ai sucks just because you actually continue to use it to survive.
wtf is wrong with these people.
All these people do not create LLMs or anything. They sell books, ads, blog posts, hype… FOMO as I said, it’s so powerful that idiotic CEOs fell in the trap and forced it on their employees.
AI in healthcare and science has been a boon, but other than that, fuck it. Absolutely not. I will not support the job stealer. The water guzzler. The environment destroyer.
“The Internet in healthcare and science has been a boon, but other than that fuck it”
“Computing in healthcare and science has been a boon, but other than that fuck it”
“Electricity in healthcare and science has been a boon, but other than that fuck it”
So you think AI by itself is competent enough to steal work from people?
I mean, hell no. AI doesn’t steal jobs. AI operators do. Do you think those random person who has absolutely no idea about programming and whatsoever can steal work off programmers?
Al doesn’t steal jobs. Al operators do.
But your main post is begging people to become AI operators.
Yeah. So you don’t have to lose jobs.
“Everyone stop using mechanical looms! They are going to steal all our weaving jobs!”
I have used some AI crap to optimize algorithms, but I would never used that for anything else. I strongly believe that AI is like Google. People were full of FOMO, selling it, writing books about search engines, when in reality, you could learn how to use it in a few hours.
OMG Google is so hard you have to spend months to make a proper query. Fuck no, you have to learn how to write a proper sentence. Same shit for AI. The problem is that AI is shit now. It may be useful in a few years, but not now.
Replace “AI” with “blockchain” and it’s almost copy-paste from a few years ago.
Many people rightfully recognize that LLMs can be a useful tool in certain situations. But just like every other over-hyped tech buzzthing from the last two decades, it’s overblown. And given the side-effects (like the environmental and social impacts) it’s perfectly reasonable people would want to reject it outright.
“Hey, it worked for me. What’s YOUR problem?”
The hype goes both ways. Its fine as a further abstraction of search but its energy usage is still concerning although I hope hardware technology will reduce that. Its generative funtion can be useful but is disengenous and so far cannot replace actual talent. It can also be a crutch as one becomes out of practice. That being said with folks that lack talent like myself it can be very helpful when you simply don’t have or can’t afford someone to help you. Its certainly going to improve and not go anywhere. Avoiding it would be like avoiding web searching to find answers in the aughts.
People who hate AI are the Antifa types. Just ignore them.
One can be right wing and hate AI as well. AI has nothing inherently political.
- They run at a profit deficit.
- They require huge amounts electric power.
- Companies collect data and not respect licenses.
- Aggresive scrapers are a problem to many sites and they do not respect robots.txt directive.
- Some LLM’s have criminal and pornographic content in their data collected.
I hate both fascists and the tools of fascist empires.
It is troubling that you are encouraging people to ignore those opposed to fascism though.
