As someone who has made the occasional funny picture with the bingalator, how do you get to the point that you can not exist a day without some gen ai? Like how?

[-] chronicledmonocle@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago

I don't use any of it now, so......it'd be pretty easy, actually.

this dude is literally this meme:

[-] AmyAye@nord.pub 9 points 4 hours ago

I don't even use any of that for work now so...

[-] CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 13 points 5 hours ago

Oh no, to go back to the prehistoric time of 2021...

[-] AmbitiousProcess@piefed.social 102 points 9 hours ago

I don't think I've ever seen a more horrifying example of projection in my life 💀

He can't go through his day without AI because he's made himself dependent on it instead of doing anything for himself, and he genuinely thinks that everyone else is the same way.

[-] davetortoise@reddthat.com 24 points 9 hours ago

People have surrendered their critical thinking skills. Truth is, AI disappearing overnight really would be disastrous, because a huge portion of humanity is utterly addicted to it and incompetent without it.

[-] Grail@multiverse.soulism.net 5 points 2 hours ago

I don't usually support "cull the weak" kinda mentalities... but cull the weak! Take away their AI and let the unemployed people who refuse to use AI take their jobs. I wanna see all these AI supporters go to the bottom of the barrel where they belong.

You know, if we can't have UBI or a gift economy.

[-] Dookieman12@piefed.social 1 points 1 hour ago

Sounds like natural selection to me

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 18 points 7 hours ago

They're incompetent with it too.

[-] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 37 points 9 hours ago

I'm perfectly okay with that outcome.

[-] gh0stcassette 18 points 9 hours ago

I am completely okay with everyone dumb enough to outsource their critical thinking to AI having their lifestyle upended when the AI bubble pops

I think most people were totally incompetent before AI. It's just that now they have a tool that creates bullshit for them and an excuse when problems arise.

[-] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 7 points 7 hours ago

Some of the requests that come into my office now it's like, I know the person barely even knows what they're asking for, but they put it in the shape of a valid request so now I've got to expend energy to educate them on how what they're asking for doesn't make sense.

If they'd just come to me with honest questions and a rough outline of what they wanted, I could've helped them, but because they insist on filtering everything through an LLM I've got to try to communicate through this thick, meaning-eroding medium. It's like trying to talk to someone through a mattress. Whatever happened to having the courage of your convictions. sigh

[-] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 2 points 2 hours ago

People have assumptions of what correct communication should be, and it generally has a minimum page length instead of minimum content amount.

The worst cases I've seen is when they're trying to convince someone of something verbally, they get the agreement very quickly, but get stuck in convince mode rather than moving on since it shouldn't be that easy.

and he genuinely thinks that everyone else is the same way.

He asked ChatGPT if everyone else is dependent on AI, and it said yes.

Can't believe they made talking to your computer like they do in Tron lame as fuck in real life

[-] Kirp123@lemmy.world 149 points 12 hours ago

I guess nobody did any work a few years back when AI wasn't being shoved down our throats. Also imagine being a carpenter or an electrician and being asked if you can get through your entire workday without AI. That guy is such an idiot is makes my head hurt.

[-] velma@sh.itjust.works 80 points 12 hours ago

Seriously - the AI bubble is very recent. Pretending like no one can possibly remember how they functioned before AI was being used everywhere is asinine.

[-] Grail@multiverse.soulism.net 3 points 2 hours ago

These addicts can't remember how to function without LLMs. They've destroyed their brains.

[-] frisbird@lemmy.ml 63 points 11 hours ago

He's telling on himself. He doesn't actually know how to do anything and he never did. He's terrified of losing a.i. because there's nothing for him to go back to

[-] BurntWits@sh.itjust.works 26 points 10 hours ago

Your second point was where my mind immediately went. I have never used AI at work and have no way to use AI at work even if I wanted to, because I don’t use a computer for work. Even if I was a massive AI supporter, I’d still see exactly zero difference at work.

Get through a work day without it? Yes. BECAUSE THEN I'D ACTUALLY HAVE A FUCKING JOB.

...sorry for screaming.

[-] alcea@feddit.org 3 points 6 hours ago

AI is a tool of truth. Sent to test mankind bringingmout their """"true"""" potenial.

Short list of potential:

  • CEOs
  • Shills
  • Influencers
  • People who can't and don't want to learn how to draw
  • "But it's so hard why can't it be easy"

Oh I can't wait to see what other types it will reveal

[-] SailorFuzz@lemmy.world 81 points 12 hours ago

I work as a software engineer and I don't use any of those things.... so yea... if I can do it, most people, the overwhelming majority of people can do it.

[-] kamenlady@lemmy.world 21 points 11 hours ago

I envy you. The company i work at fully embraced ai ...

My boss said it out loud yesterday: you know guys, i don't really depend on you anymore.

He must have wet dreams about developing software for a customer, without having to pay some stupid developers for it.

[-] Maxxie@piefed.blahaj.zone 21 points 10 hours ago

My boss said it out loud yesterday: you know guys, i don't really depend on you anymore.

As a poor soul who's trying to refactor a fully vibe-coded project (in prod BTW) into something half-decent: hahahahahahahah 🫪

[-] NekoKoneko@lemmy.world 15 points 11 hours ago

Sounds like he and AI deserve each other, and he should probably just start a new company with just him and AI to do all the work without those inefficient employees. In fact, he should ask AI if it's a good idea. If there's anything he's unsure about, AI could reassure him to go for it.

I’m forced to for work but I could happily go back if it all disappeared.

In fact I wish it would.

[-] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 22 points 11 hours ago

But if it disappeared, how will all those middle managements write all those hundreds of TPS reports that nobody reads?

please don't tell me we are at this stage

[-] hayvan@piefed.world 51 points 12 hours ago

I use Claude Code daily at work and yes, I am VERY willing to give it up if this LLM and generative bubble completely blew up tomorrow. I'd be more than happy to see it disappear.

[-] balsoft@lemmy.ml 10 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

I am VERY willing to give it up if this LLM and generative bubble completely blew up tomorrow

The best part is that when the bubble blows we'll still be left with dozens of LLMs that can run locally on modest hardware with results not far behind the "frontier" bullshit, and nobody will be shoving AI down our throats every waking moment.

[-] FardyCakes@lemmy.world 36 points 11 hours ago

Don’t threaten me with a good time.

[-] BehindetheClouds@reddthat.com 3 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

"Ai" has mostly wasted my time.

The only productive* use I've actually found had/had figuring out and fixing obscure errors in Linux. Like finding something useful in that mound of sewage.

The only person I know who uses Ai religiously is a schizophrenic with grandiose delusions... so you can just imagine.

  • I'm assuming it saved me time. I'm absolutely sure I would have figured it out eventually.
[-] InFerNo@lemmy.ml 3 points 7 hours ago

I don't even use it that much. Sometimes as a last resort when searching yields no answers, but then usually it just answers something not quite right so... wouldn't miss it.

Comic Strips

24859 readers
2311 users here now

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

Rules
  1. 😇 Be Nice!

    • Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
  2. 🏘️ Community Standards

    • Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
    • Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
    • Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
    • Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
  3. 🧬 Keep it Real

    • Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
  4. 📽️ Credit Where Credit is Due

    • Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
    • Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
  5. 📋 Post Formatting

    • Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
    • Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
    • When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
      ✅ Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
      ❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
  6. 📬 Post Frequency/SPAM

    • Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 🖐) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 🖐) will be removed.
  7. 🏴‍☠️ Internationalization (i18n)

    • Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
      Sí, por favor [Spanish/Español]
  8. 🍿 Moderation

    • We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
    • When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Banned Artists

The following artists are banned from the community.

  1. Jago
  2. Stonetoss
  3. GPrime85

It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.

Web Accessibility

Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.

When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:

Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)
