I think your sentiment and the back end requirements of AI is a big downfall of it, as while your sentiment has validity in many public facing deployments of it there are some things it is actually succeeding at. I speak from experience having used it for several specific use cases which it excels at, but you and others probably don't have time nor care that this is true. And again marketing idiots out weight the deliberate approach that engineers and others might want, much less the economy might need.
Uhuh
Like how my colleagues often come to me saying they fixed it with Cursor and when I check the UI where the bug was, the page doesn't even load at all now.
I just had someone tell me they did something with AI and when I checked they didn't even get right the very basic thing of coding around the right controller names. The fucking names were wrong. They didn't even check the feature, they just shipped, called it fixed, and told me Cursor figured it out really quickly.
I'm tired of this. I'm REALLY tired of this, man...
I posted this as a perspective on AI that is not given by AI, nor by someone who believes it will stay this way, but nor am I promoting it. I believe it's more nuanced that just being crap, although it is taking over many things in life. I have used it, I know how to use it for good (keeping it private, local, and to help teach reasoning as well as do the thing that we need done (like dishes, bills, and other bullshit). I'm fully aware it's a bubble (14 billion to 1.4 trillion for OpenAI alone), dislike it and hate the energy waste. You all just seem to want to keep up the ignorant web user stereotype.
Have fun down voting something you don't really understand.
literally no one is saying "we need to kill all pursuits of ai because it's bad at organizing my photos"
The copium is hard with them innit?
