Unlike 110% of the Lemmy community, I am legitimately impressed by AI. LLMs have increased my productivity both at work and with my own personal hobbies.
Tonight alone, I created dozens of JSON files using an LLM for a game mod I’m developing that would have taken me days if I had created them manually.
My issues with Microsoft have nothing to do with AI (as a concept). Personally, I equate most people who oppose LLMs with the Luddite movement.
Microsoft has many, many issues. Their focus on forcing AI on people who mostly don’t want it is a stupid business decision IMO. They should focus their energy elsewhere.
I’d rather they fix Teams and remove the 4,738 completely useless Clippy notifications they send me daily (on my work computer—fuck using Windows at home).
You are aware that the Luddite movement is not so much a reaction to new tech, but a reaction to the use, or rather abuse of said tech? As somebody who works in tech, I am not opposed by AI as a tool, but using it for the sake of using it does not solve anything.

Maybe you would have a better point if the Luddites hadn’t been right.
You needed an AI to create a few dozen JSON files for you or else it would have taken you days?
Maybe the luddites have a point after all.
