In my experience, LLMs have been very good at writing unit code. Definitely don't miss Stackoverflow. Besides this (and framing silly stuff), they aren't there yet. They will be at some point in the future with some interesting architectural progress, but I haven't personally experienced this future yet.

These are things I already never use. Oh the horror

Work in cybersecurity. Don't use AI. Thanks to AI all the search engines are fucked.

Please let it die.

Don't threaten me with a good time.

If I fart in the woods and nobody is there to hear it, will you ever recover from that?

I dig trenches with a shovel. There is no USB port on my shovel. I thank the almighty gods for that small blessing.

If it were banned, would it matter if you "willing" to give it up? Dumbass question.

And yes, I could do my job easily.

I’d just go back to doing my job the old way and know there are excel formulas out there AI taught me

I'm not anti-AI, but I'm most definitely anti-corporate greed. I wish there was moderation in all of this. I wish there were regulations instead of letting companies blindly buy hardware before it's even made based on what they or their competitors might be doing 2 years from now. Fuck that.

With that said, yes, AI is a helpful tool, yes, I'm using it every day at work, and yes, I can do without it no problem - just like I have for many many years.

What's scary is that AI as a service is really expensive, and the AI companies have been selling tokens as a severe loss all this time.

If you're that dependent on AI, what happens when you have to bear the full price?

You're going to give up your AI girlfriend, is what.

That's millennial as fuck!

Some pleeb trying to get comments and foot traffic to his post on what ever stoopid platform.. ignoring ai bs is the best way to remove from our environment

It's a good accelerator for mundane tasks, and usually a good indicator that you could farm those tasks out to an intern.

You should give AI the same responsibility and trust that you give to a green intern because it will confidently fuck things up and requires an experienced eye to review anything it produces.

If AI went away tomorrow, we could probably take the cost and redistribute it to a graduate or two.

Aaaaaannnndddd, this unfortunately is that 1/3 of 1/3 viewpoint I have been talking about in other circles.

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

Definitely. I haven't even begun to use it yet and its already pissing me off. If I touch the phone in just the wrong way it starts doing AI at me. Turns out it starts doing AI at me if I hold the power button down to turn it off. Imagine my anger.

Every time I turn my Windows laptop on it throws more and more copilot bollocks at me that I dont need or want and dont have the time to try and disable so I just have to spend the whole time fighting it off like a dog trying to hump my leg when I'm trying to cook dinner.

Um did buddy not exist before AI? We got this far without it so...

Me, a Meth Addict, constantly trying to blow meth smoke in your face and stab you with meth needles: "You're going to have a pretty hard time getting by without it!"

I did the job before without it so yeah.

Man the last thing i want to do is go through moon rune math on wikipedia or Stack Overflow when i need to solve a well defined problem in programming like the ye old days.

This betrays such a lack of imagination (and probably empathy), as he is completely incapable of conceiving that people don't use LLMs as much as he does.

Haters are absolutely people that use it all the time but are against it? For clout? To simply hate on something?

All of these people that want to end billionaires, or reduce their accumulated wealth, I have one question: if billionaires disappeared tomorrow would you still get through an entire day of your life? Imagine if the rich were eaten? Would you really be willing to give them up?
