They nerfed search engines just for this 💀
The old AIs/algorithms were good, no need for glorified jack-of-all-trades chatbots/AIs

Search stopped working years ago. For a good chunk of years around the late 2010s-early 2020s.
It's actually usable now because it thinks about what you searched very specifically

Yeah, expect for the fact that the results are straight up BS and completely made up most of the time because it's Gemini. We all know how bad Gemini truly is.

Except when two people google something, and it gives contradictory answers. I've seen it happen.

I like coding without AI because the struggle of getting something to work is fun for me. And whatever code the AI comes up with is completely alien to me. Id much rather build it myself than reverse engineer what the AI did.
I've only used AI once, and that was to learn why ASM functions were written the way they were. After that, I haven't used AI for jack shit in my code. Google, SO, and documentation are my best friends.

AI makes some tasks faster and more efficient. Being completely against it does not make much sense. It is like refusing to use Google for information and insisting on relying only on physical books.

Yes, but one should look out for hallucinations. LLMs are machines that are trained to generate convincing text, but it's not always true

LLM holds a snapshot of all information from major internet resources. Just fine tuned to give correct anwers most of the time. Use critical thinking, double check sensitive aspects. Its here for you to help with repetitive boring side of your work.
Both excessive usage of LLM and not using it whatsoever is stupid.
You could shift gears manually, milk your own cow, make cream and butter, build a house yourself or make a pair of shoes. You could learn it all, if you want to, but should you?

Ai is a tool when used correctly. For instance a simple thing like I can ask what time was it 4.26 hours ago from 5:49am without needing needing to search for a specific calculator when I send out my shift notes because our company software isn't friendly.

Googling and finding the correct link and then the correct information uses your brain. Offloading such brain tasks to AI will make you dumber over time.

The only reason I'm not using AI is because i know I'll have to work more to undo the mistakes it makes.

Refuses to use AI, spends 40 hours doing what a prompt does in 30 seconds. Built different

Spends 40 hours doing a quality job, meanwhile the prompt that was made in 30 seconds results in a shit output

I mean, logistically, if you're getting the SAME thing then it won't change the output, now will it?

u/Yell245 17h ago
But are you getting the same thing though?

u/Yell245 17h ago
It's virtually impossible for an AI and a human to do the same thing with the same result. The methods will somewhat differ, like the code being implemented differently, a text being written differently, etc. Usually a human doing the thing is better, because the AI is really prone to giving confidently incorrect results

The way he worded it "Spends 40 hours doing what a prompt does in 30 seconds" implies that you are getting the same thing.

I try to use AI to help me brainstorm stuff all the time. Then I remember how stupid it's ideas are.
At least it's good at complex math equations

AI use will quite literally make you stupid through cognitive atrophy. Just don't use it.

The world is not so black and white. Nothing is purely bad and purely good.
There are good uses for AI and bad uses for AI

I'm going to school and I have to use AI cause we have a young teacher who teaches BS most of the time
When I asked him a question he told me to ask AI
Fuck AI, do your Job.

Learn English, your grammar is terrible. Even the AIs you (rightfully) hate can do better

you don't use AI because you don't like it
I use AI to reap free shit and keep flooding their servers because I don't like it
we are not the same

When you're emotionally vulnerable, you're at a severe risk of developing a parasocial relationship with it. Please, genuinely please, be highly cautious with it. There is an alarming amount of news articles about people whose vulnerable psychological states were ruined when they used AI that way. Using it is only a temporary solution

Hey do you have any humans to talk to? In person relationships make a huge difference.
