      All I know is that it’s changing every month but also I have to start using it every month for the past 3 years or I’ll be obsolete and someone that uses it will take my job. Lolz

        Lol, my boss has tired using ai to speed things up and all we got in return was unhappy clients.

          If you didn’t originally you should read my comment as if it is absolutely dripping with disdain and sarcasm.

                Now we’re resorting to name calling? Grow up.

                I’m just trying to have an intelligent conversation. Clearly, this isn’t going to happen.

                  Yes I’ll happily call you a buffoon when you make unfounded assertions and insinuate that I only don’t understand because you’re talking about the tech industry, when my comments in this very thread make it pretty fucking obvious I am in fact in the tech industry. Ya buffoon.

                    I never insinuated anything. I don’t know what you do or don’t know. You’re putting words in my mouth now.

                    Maybe it’s not as obvious as you may think?

      For the tools it is actually useful for; everyone has their thing.

      I didn’t say it doesn’t have it’s evils. But it’s like saying the internet was going to be a fad. It’s not going anywhere and people are taking advantage of it. If you’re not keeping up with it, you’re doing yourself a disservice.

      E: and yeah, I know it’s Lemmy and everyone is anti ai and even the slightest amount of non-hate is downvotes. I’m high and honestly don’t care. :)

        The internet is a communications tool though. When you look at the history of communications development, from postal service to telegraph to telephone to internet, the internet fits right in there very neatly as the next step. AI is a totally new thing and doesn’t have any particularly comparable analogs in the past. Anyway my point is I don’t think it’s comparable to the internet

        GenAI is extremely destructive technology, so it deserves all the hate thrown at it, and the usefulness is still so-so at best.

          I’m not sure what gave you the impression I cared about made up internet points. In fact, I literally said I didn’t care.

          As for your question, different people have different needs. For me, I work in the tech industry. AI is changing everything in cybersecurity, programming, data analytics, medical research, the list goes on.

          I understand not everyone works in tech. And yes, it has it’s evil. But it’s not going anywhere.

          I’m not, nor have I said previously that it’s the end all, be all. I did say it had it’s uses.

            There seems to be a big difference between what the media and AI slop enthusiasts say about AI and what I’ve experienced with people using AI or AI being integrated into everyday items. At best, the results are mediocre, while using up huge amounts of resources to get there.

      Coding.

      As a life long software developer, the speed at which I can build things is increasing significantly with AI. I’m not talking about vibe coding specifically, but even for maintaining existing projects, it’s a pretty powerful tool.

          Aside from that, it’s very elaborate code and not exactly free of issues. But worry not, it’s tested with more genai.

        Funny. You’d think we’d have more software if all you people that claim it’s rocket fuel weren’t full of shit, but all I see more if is more shitty shovelware no one gives a fuck about, vibe coders overwhelming real open source devs, and historically good stuff like rsync getting fucked up

        The people at work who use AI the most know the least. They add very little value. AI is rather anti-labor in that way.

        I’d also rather have some people who are slow and competent than fast and hallucinating

        If that were true, there would’ve been a software explosion, since LLMs have “killed manual programming” for some years now according to the guys that earn money when people believe that.

        There hasn’t been any perceivable increase of software products over these years. Nor a decrease in their price.

        The only notable differences are:

        1. LLMs shoved into every software product.
        2. Microsoft software getting even worse since they claimed they were using so much LLM.

        Lol you really opened multiple user profiles and mashed downvotes on random comments because you were so upset people called out your vibe coding story. Pretty sad
