I use AI at work everyday. If it went away the only thing that would change is I’d just go back to googling stuff

[–] dreamkeeper@literature.cafe 5 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

I'm required to use it for generating code. But that's a small part of my job. Occasionally I'll use it to research niche topics because it's faster than a search but I'd be just fine without it.

I spent 10+ years coding without AI. It's just a tool, and one that's easily misused by people with low aptitude. I see it all the time and have to leave comments and block PRs until people fix the slop it outputs.

And if googling went away I’d just go back to those giant books with the animals on them.

[–] vogi@piefed.social 1 points 16 hours ago

Fucking love holding raw knowledge with my bare hands.

[–] foo@feddit.uk 18 points 1 day ago

You'd need to lift the monitors off them first.

[–] blarghly@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Has anyone ever opened one of those books? For all we know, they could just be a bunch of blank pages on the inside

[–] gerryflap@feddit.nl 5 points 1 day ago

I've opened some. It's genius, it's like a giant webpage with lots of information, but without all the ads, cookie banners, etc. Unfortunately the ones I have don't seem to support any way to quickly search in the text. Though they've also thought about that, rather than implementing search these books tend to have a big overview at the start with all the separate chapters and sometimes a search index of commonly searched words at the end. Quite genius for what's effectively just a neat monitor stand

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I have read these ancient tomes. The knowledge does exist.

[–] CIA_chatbot@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago

The same, the animal revelations hold forbidden knowledge, but one can derive great power from them

[–] OrteilGenou@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Nah it's actually just analog AI, someone opened one a few years ago and that's where all this mess started

Hey there buddy, wanna overthrow the prime minister of Malaysia with me?

[–] vrek@programming.dev 19 points 1 day ago (3 children)

As soon as you answer "but why models?"

[–] CIA_chatbot@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago

I… just explained that

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] HeHoXa@lemmy.zip 2 points 17 hours ago

Okay... but why mail models?

[–] W98BSoD@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 day ago

Buttery males!

[–] gon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago

Hilarious LMAO

[–] okwhateverdude@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

sames. That said, if AI went away, we have a few already-deployed systems that would go poof too. They increase throughput of the humans doing real work (we're not building reverse centaurs here). Since we implemented them, we've not needed to hire more.
