My sole use for AI has been troubleshooting computer issues. I will say that AI often does a better job than first line tech support when prompted correctly. That being said, I am a tech nerd who knows more than the average computer user that is not in the IT industry. There will always be a reason for human tech support tiers for people who cannot prompt AI correctly, but still need their stuff to work. I personally don't want AI invading my life any further.

Its a admission that it isn't doing anything useful.
I appreciate the social permission for so many folks to switch to Linux. KDE has come a long way.
Isn't it alleged that China goes for specific use cases and not general intelligence?
Maybe that's the way to go and not the gamble that the US and western companies are doing.

Brother, AI has proven multiple times to make you stupider. It's not a cognitive amplifier.
He could set an example by replacing himself with AI
He has my permission to stop.

when they asked permissions?
We're not replacing workers fast enough.
-This jackass, essentially.
It’s getting more and more absurd.
“We can’t think of a good use for this parasite outside of our industry.”
Play with algorithms and datasets if you want, but make it efficient. We don't need thousands of data centers guzzling water and electricity and disturbing the peace just to generate wrong answers and slop. Work on the algorithms, don't just scale up the slop.

What does Capitalism™ say about "innovations" that can't deliver results? Filtering out crap that only works on some bullshit paper is the one thing capitalism is supposed to be good at.
