Because I’m seeing more and more each day people once considered experts now on the same level as an untrained person who knows how to type. And I’m really hoping LLMs reach a tipping point because otherwise, you’re just adding another nauseating element to the rat race.

I’m no stranger to the “adapt or get left behind” comments, and it’s very funny when people tell me this but can no longer tell me how a for loop works or what constitutes an outer join.

lol hate to say it but this shithole needs to humbled by an act of war that brings down the power grid, capitalist realism is quickly turning into economic and technological realism (if it hasn’t already).

    Very spot on, it can be very useful as a way to Google things in a personalized way but that’s pretty much it atm. It’s very good at what an LLM was always designed to do from the beginning, parse and predict a fitting response out of the infinite pile of trash it remembers. Any other use case eventually just highlights how much better a human would do the job, even the things that it is fit to do like first level customer service. I have a special hatred for AI “art”, out of all its use cases this is the one that I really wish could be abolished.
