lmao i understand what a meme is. i just dont get why the above commenter responded with basically ai hate. im more neutral or supportive of ai so im not really used to anti ai povs.

What's good about AI or agents? I'm waiting.

[-] steam@programming.dev 1 points 1 day ago

i like learning new concepts from it,or discussing philosophy with it.

i want an ai agent so i tell it to do a task i would rather not do. like re encode a lot of movies then move them to another folder,or make specific art for me on gimp for example. so i have the original file not just an image,i can't draw so i like ai art. i sometimes like to generate art to match something about philosophy im feeling and print it. stuff like that

You would rather ask an extremely unreliable piece of crap that accidentally destroys software engineering as a whole rather than find it yourself or read a book?

Note that I am NOT against every technology. Every new piece of software brought something useful in the past. LLMs is the only one that has only negative parts. LLMs only solves the laziness problem, and it does it wrong most of the time.

books are complex,ai i can ask it to simplfy it and it does.

Hooo Boy, that is not the take you think it is.

[-] steam@programming.dev 1 points 1 day ago

i never said i like reading tho. i just want the concept or idea of a philosophy not the whole thing. like pop science. but i do pop philosophy.

Whether or not you said you like reading isn't really applicable. That you find books complicated and want a computer to dumb it down for you to the extent that you maybe can't read a book anymore is indicative of the mental acuity you are capable of bringing to a conversation or task.

Critical thinking is an exercise that one must keep up with, regardless of interest, if one is to be able to maintain effectiveness of it. Supplanting one's own capabilities with a regression model will cause one's abilities to atrophy and further a dependence on that algorithm regardless of its own incremental improvements.

Books are not inherently complicated. They make them for kids. The fact you find them thus is an indicator of your own lack of ability.

Excessive resource use for what it can produce thereby negatively impacting the broader environment
Excessive noise and heat pollutants (among others if generating power locally) thereby negatively impacting local environments
Used for trivial things that could generally be done faster or more accurately by a human
Places the levers of available knowledge and social influence in the hands of a few powerful men
Excessive use supplants your trained ability to critically think which can make you more dependent upon them in the future
The generic LLMs we have today are being invested in at the expense of investments in other technologies which could have a greater positive impact
People are losing their jobs to a machine that does it worse in a society with no recourse for protecting human life
