As a millenial looking to change careers, because I was done with the old one. No, it sucks!
Comment on I'm not sure they will

As a millennial the only positive of LLMs is that younger generations won’t threaten my career

I agree. I am more than happy to pass the torch when the time comes. I certainly don’t want to work forever, but I also want to be able to train competent replacements at some point.

They will if you don’t use AI though

Don’t believe you, seems like useless nonsense to me

Considering how much competitive jobs have become refusing to use a powerful tool like AI won’t help. I’m not saying that you should use it just that people using it will be advantaged over these who don’t

I work in a creative industry, as far as we are concerned it is plagiarism

Younger generations are, by and large, as technologically illiterate as boomers are. It doesnt apply to all of them, but the majority of them grew up with nothing but easy UIs. They may not chicken-pick to type, but they still cant troubleshoot anything and tend to know nothing outside of interacting with a typical interface. They definitely grew up with nothing like Windows 95 or 98 (or even XP) where you had to actually understand how a computer works to some extent to use the thing (or fix it)

Wholeheartedly agree. This is from 2013, and I feel it’s only gotten worse since then.

We tried to teach ours and got “dad can you just fix it I’m in a game”. Then no desire to learn in free time.

Arguably even windows 95/98 was rediculously easy compared to dos or Unix systems before it.
Sit a kid down in front of a c64 with a manual and see if they can do anything on it. If they can read the manual that is…
Sure these systems are “obsolete” but the brain training is priceless. Kids now are training their brains to love ads and corporations. Its gotten super bad. And I’m not even an old person (just been into tech history my whole life) so its rediculous I’m even saying this.
