If all you can see is the hype train, you shouldn't be making those decisions for yourself.

These people are threats to our actual lives.

It's market manipulation.

Keep the faith. Do not lose your beleif in my plans. They may make no sense, contradicts themselves and you can't understand them but I have one and it's the best plan, the biggest, and the only one that will save you! Only through me can you reach the American paradise, but you must believe and never waiver. Keep the faith despite whatever you see or hear, for there are lying media and fake news everywhere trying to take you away from your place in the Great America.

But their tolerance for making you suffer differs significantly.

It will soon be back, and in greater numbers.

Until we are forced to replace them with technological bandaids and hope the ecosystem keeps churning. Like we've been doing for a couple centuries atleast.

But you can't construct sentences that produce value from AI while others can.

Inform disagree about the benefits of those skills, I just question whether we'll still effectively produce adults who have them. People are lazy and they'll take a good enough solution through AI than a better solution through their own effort, children are particularly prone to this. On the other side we have billion dollar companies that would love nothing more than a population completely dependent on their devices to survive, whose AI divisions are mostly unregulated and and whoa re currently collusion in a dictatorial overthrow of Americans democracy, so I don't think they give a shit if our kid's lives end up fucked up from a lack of critical thinking. They aren't held accountable for anything their technologies do to us.

Yes it is. The creators don't fully know what their own products are capable of or how best to use them. If you are dependent on others to tell you how to use this new tool, you will be behind the curve.

No, it very much isn't. AI is a mass data analysis tool with vastly greater capabilities than any human counterpart.

It is, and they should, but that doesn't mean they will. GenZ and GenA has notable communication and social issues rooted in the technologies of today. Those issue aren't stopping our use of social media, smart phones or tablets or stopping tech companies from doubling down on the technologies that cause the issues. I have no faith they will protect future children when they have refuse to protect present children.

What I mean is that much like parents who already put a tablet or TV in front of their kid to keep them occupied, parents will do the same with AI. When a kid is talking to an AI every day, they will learn to communicate their wants and needs to the AI. But AI has infinite patients, is always available, never makes their kid feel bad and can effectively infer and accurately assume the intent of a child from pattern recognizing communication that parents may struggle to understand. Every child would effectively develop a unique language for use with their AI co-parent that really only the AI understands.

This will happen naturally simply by exposure to AI that parents seem more than willing to allow as easily as tablets and smart phones and tv. Like siblings where one kid understands the other better that parent and translates those needs to the parent. Children raised on AI may end up communication to their caretakers better through the AI, just like the sibling, but worse. Their communication skills with people will suffer because more of their needs are getting met by communicating with AI. They practice communication with AI at the expense of communicating with people.

If a process that gets actionable results doesn't require those skills, we will no longer develop them. As bad as it is for us, most of the reason we have education at all is because the business class needed educated workers. As soon as they don't, support for education will collapse from the business side and with it, we all become American red states. If a student can get through their education, producing good enough answers with AI, why do they need to ever not use AI? If I can get an answer with a calculator I'll always have access to, I simply exchange a mental math process with a calculator use process. If using AI is faster, with lower error rate, and can do more complex maths, we won't need those mental math skills anymore. It would be a waste of time to learn them rather than learning AI related skills.

AI is going to upend things across society and we won't be the ones deciding if it happens or what sacrifices were forced to make.

That's entirely on you for using it for what its bad at and then claiming its bad at everything. I use it an LLM literally every day for work and it's a time saver. I had to learn what its good for and what it's not though. I also use the better available versions, not the publically available ones. Asking it questions about vague and subjective things isn't where its best. Asking it to make an excel formula that does a thing without needing to even know a function exists to do that? Priceless.

I hear ya, but I can't stop. I believe this change is significant and I don't want to see them blindsided by their inability to see it today. One day imt he not so distant future, they won't be able to avoid it and better that they are armed with some information for the day they can no longer avoid it.

100% agree. I wish people weren't so dismissive because I don't want to see them hurt because of their failure to see the future in the present.

It's definitely not good for whole programs in one go or complex programming. Businesses hoping to replace coders isn't really happening. But for bite sized code sections like a simple function or non-coders who need something that does a bespoke task in their life? It seems pretty effective. I don't know a programming language but decided to try and automate my trading strategies and in a month I'd written a program in Python that automatically trades my opening strategy. I would never have been able to do that without chatGPT. It has effectively reduced the time it takes to have functional code significantly, especially as I need to use APIs which AI has been phenomenal at providing without needing to dig through the documentation.

It isn't replacing engineers but it definitely helps save time and can empower non engineers to make useful programs without needing years of schooling.

A good horse rider was once better than an automobile for traveling on the dirt roads that existed. I have avoided just about every novel and ridiculously useless tech trend for 20 years, but I do not believe this is the same. This is a foundational change on par with the internet or the smart phone. If you can't find a single use for AI in your life, then you will be left behind while others make significant improvements to theirs. More likely however, it we be unavoidable in the next decade as AI slowly becomes the user interface prefered by companies, which is already happening in customer service. Having used AI and LLM regularly for the last 3-4 months, there is no going back. You can choose to live in the past for as long as you able but your dependency on how you do things today will impede your ability to function in a future that makes those processes obsolete, especially as future generations grow up with AI from birth.

It isn't too dumb to write code. It's too dumb to write complex code. I use it to write code every week and it saves a ton of time. It has also greatly reduces the time it takes to produce effective code. Right now I have an automated trading program running that was written in Python in three weeks without ever knowing a programming language. If you are not finding AI useful, you're simply not using it for what it is useful for. I do pay for the latest greatest chatGPT thought and the difference is significant from the publically available version.

Now imagine growing up where using your own words is less effective than having AI speak for you. Would you have not used AI as a kid when it worked better than your own words?
