    Only pro is laborious, tedious programming tasks have become significantly faster to do, along with testing edge cases and stuff a programmer should be able to do but maybe doesnt need to.

    Just about everything else is negative.

      Oh yeah, all that is definitely worth the list of negatives

      Don’t get me wrong, there are good applications for AI, but its damn near literally 99.9% utter crap versus the 0.1% “oohh, really actually nice!”

      Is it worth it? I’ll say a million times no. I wish we never got any of this AI trash, because I’d still have a job, I’d still be able to buy hardware, I would have to worry about people making porn videos about me daughter, my family wouldn’t have to deal with AI scam calls, I’d still be able to host a nice website without it being slaughtered by AI bots, and I can go on for a while.

      The very little pros do not even make a dent in the negatives

      If it weren’t for the overwhelming harm and the insane ramblings of those pushers, we could actually rationally discuss all of the useful things that can be done with it. There are plenty - its a pretty good tool in any engineers toolbox - but there’s no point in itemizing them because the much greater issue is the ai psychosis taking over our entire financial, economic, and governmental systems.

      Eh, it also fixed search because it can read through all the SEO crap that fucked over regular search engines.

      As long as you click the link to the website attached to the summary of course.

      I don’t know, it’s also fun to do role play games with a locally hosted thingamabob-bot-computer-talker. I recently played a 1930s noir detective in New Orleans RPG with AI. It was neat and kept me entertained for hours.

        There are also real people who would have a great time doing this with you. Ai does not need to exist in this scenario.
