I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more horrifying example of projection in my life 💀
He can’t go through his day without AI because he’s made himself dependent on it instead of doing anything for himself, and he genuinely thinks that everyone else is the same way.
People have surrendered their critical thinking skills. Truth is, AI disappearing overnight really would be disastrous, because a huge portion of humanity is utterly addicted to it and incompetent without it.
I mean I for one support hiring dumbasses. We’re all dumbasses in some area, we’ve just got to help eachother out, so I help you in an area you’re a dumbass about and then you help me bully HR or something.
Let’s just not pretend like we aren’t dumbasses. Only the boss wins then.
The AI bubble might pop, but just as the dotcom bubble didn’t mean the end of the internet it won’t mean the end of AI. LLMs (or whatever might supersede them) are here to stay.
I agree, but it will mean an end to highly subsidized LLM subscriptions and free access to any cloud LLM worth actually using for anything, which will make it much harder for the average person to rely on LLMs as much as this person.
I think most people were totally incompetent before AI. It’s just that now they have a tool that creates bullshit for them and an excuse when problems arise.
Some of the requests that come into my office now it’s like, I know the person barely even knows what they’re asking for, but they put it in the shape of a valid request so now I’ve got to expend energy to educate them on how what they’re asking for doesn’t make sense.
If they’d just come to me with honest questions and a rough outline of what they wanted, I could’ve helped them, but because they insist on filtering everything through an LLM I’ve got to try to communicate through this thick, meaning-eroding medium. It’s like trying to talk to someone through a mattress. Whatever happened to having the courage of your convictions. sigh
Maybe. It may be recent enough that people could lapse back to some level of thinking for themselves.
Let’s explore something much more dependent now and see if it holds up. What if smartphones disappeared? We still have cellular phones, the Nokia makes a comeback, but the use of smartphones, iPads, tablets, that whole concept is gone. You have to get on a computer to do any of the internet type interactions.

They’re incompetent with it too.
I’m perfectly okay with that outcome.
Absolutely, let them burn

I am completely okay with everyone dumb enough to outsource their critical thinking to AI having their lifestyle upended when the AI bubble pops

Just chatting with an LMM uses so few tokens I don’t really see that changing

Would people lose their minds?
Oh no! Anyway…
He asked ChatGPT if everyone else is dependent on AI, and it said yes.
The worst is hes on the “right side of history” there. Pretty much every boss in every company in every industry seems to go “lets go AI yeah bwoi”.
