What is it necessary for?
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.
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
How can you bitch about down votes when you have no answer to my question?
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.
GenAI is extremely destructive technology, so it deserves all the hate thrown at it, and the usefulness is still so-so at best.
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.
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 shitty shovelware no one gives a fuck about
Most of us don’t code, though
Aside from that, it’s very elaborate code and not exactly free of issues. But worry not, it’s tested with more genai.
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:
Yeah, you’re so right. Nothing has changed.

These people are all probably hacks and the worst coders at their jobs. Right?

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.

This is exactly my point.
And the point of the article.

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

In the tech industry, this is a reality.
