    Well, here you can’t mention you’re using AI for your job without anyone pointing out that the job cannot possibly be of real value if AI can help you with it.

      Tbf, the whole industry is heavily weighted towards the LLMs that steal data, produce lies, and ruin lives. Mostly, to convince shareholders to keep inflating the bubble that is primed to fuck up at least one nation’s entire economy.

      I hand write all my queries because I don’t need or want an LLM to fuck up something important and challenging. I think you’re being down voted because we think you’re taking the lazy route and giving up on an opportunity to keep your brain exercised and smart.

        That’s what I believed too before I started using it for this purpose. This resolved a larger bottleneck in my daily work and allows me to use my brain for more useful stuff.

        But I’m not allowed to say that here. How dare I forming my own opinion!

          What has productivity gains done for anyone in the last 50 years? You’re handing more value to your employer and to the tech oligarchs for the same pay at the cost of your own intelligence along with a myriad of other social and environmental problems. But it’s worth it because YOU say so. Ok buddy.

              They have historically done nothing but make the rich richer at society’s expense. If this tool were an actual benefit to the people no one could deny it. Yet there is so much evidence of the contrary.

              You can get so much more work done, yay. Who does that really benefit?

                You think our medical, technological and scientific advances aren’t helping society?

                I get the complaints about the economy and wealth inequality and environmental impacts from dodgy corporations. But, that’s not a technology problem, that’s a government/regulation problem. We need to attack the bad practices of corporations and the ineffectiveness of government to do anything about it, not people who have found a new tool to be useful for their work.

                They have improved our standards without exception. I hate capitalism more than anyone. When you pretend that productivity and efficiency is capitalism you help capitalism. You are its ally.

          Don’t even mind them. They said AI can’t be useful because that’s a bullshit generator. Now AI is useful. Now they hate it for other reasons. They say that AI destroys the environment. But if everybody would run it locally on their own machine with the same energy demands they would be perfectly fine with it. The reasonable enemy would be the lack of energy efficient AI hardware, or anything else really but a technology, yet they hate the technology. It’s trendy here to hate AI, so they like to let you know that your tribe is not their tribe in a very heated manner.
