You’re completely ignoring all my arguments.

No I'm not, I addressed them. LLMs not being able to do maths/spelling is a known shortcoming. Anyone using it to do that is literally using it wrong. The studies you talk about were ridiculous, I know the ones you're talking about. Of course people that don't learn something won't know how to do it, for example - but the fact that they can do it with AI is a positive. Obviously getting AI to write an essay means that the person will feel less "proud" of their work, as one of the studies said - but that's not a "bad" thing. Just like how people don't need to learn how to hunt and gather anymore doesn't mean that it's a bad thing - the world as it is, and as it always will be from here on out, means we don't need to know that unless we want to do it.

Again - AI is a tool, and idiots being able to use it to great effect doesn't mean that the tool is bad. If anything that's a showing of how good the tool is.

The fact AI has yet to do anything other than increase costs, increase the time taken to ship anything (particularly code), decrease trust and socialise the cost of data centres and electricity…

This is just straight up lying though lol. All you're doing is showing your ignorance and complete lack of awareness of the world around you.

You sound like a conspiracy theorist defending wearing an aluminium foil hat.

Gotta have somewhere to put the thousands of acres of solar panels and batteries and transmission lines.

Me wanting to configure something on my computer that can be Googled and the AI does this for me on verbal prompt is kind of stupid

How is that stupid? Isn't that the kind of things that everyone should want? "Hey copilot turn off HDR" is a lot easier than remembering the 4 or 5 button shortcut, or opening the settings menu and finding it, isn't it? Why would anyone think this is stupid?

The real danger with this is total surveillance of your activity and possibly making you and your office job obsolete. At least they are attempting this.

This isn't work related, and the enterprise versions of windows all have very strict controls over this stuff where microsoft do not ever get the data.

For all else noone needs the shit baked into the OS.

So you can't think of a single reason why anyone that's not disabled would want to use AI on a computer? No reason anyone would want to use ChatGPT? Generate an image? Re-write some text? Summarise some text or a video? None at all? Really?

[–] FreedomAdvocate 0 points 7 months ago

That’s not a use case for users. That’s a use case for a very specific sub group who likely weren’t using the OS at all.

Ok you're so far down the anti-AI hole that you're just being ridiculous. No point even bothering. "Disabled people don't use Windows" lol One of the dumbest hot takes I've heard in a while.

[–] FreedomAdvocate 0 points 7 months ago (6 children)

Your answer is nonsense.

There is no real use case for the user.

Showing your ignorance and short-sightedness right here. Just because you can't see uses, despite them being literally provided to you, doesn't mean there aren't any. It means that you can't think of them or understand them. That's a "you" problem.

Looking at a platform and seeing why and where it’s failing is not a Boolean thing, and never will be.

AI can see why and where it's failing too if it has the appropriate permissions and access.

It’s the same reason we still don’t have machines that repair cars over 100 years after their introduction.

No it's not. DevOps is all software, repairing cars is not. Car ECUs can tell you exactly what is wrong with your car.

Cool story. LLMs can't see error messages in logs if you don't give them access to it. Had you given the AI agent access to those files? Or were you just using a standalone LLM with no access to the system?

[–] FreedomAdvocate -2 points 7 months ago (4 children)

Why do you think AI can't easily be the supervisor for pipelines and create new ones? It's basically just creating steps that are well known from building a branch to deploying it.

[–] FreedomAdvocate 1 points 7 months ago

Most of my work in DevOps isn’t in front of my text editor writing scripts.

Mine either - we use azure devops, octopus, etc - tools that automate devops. Most of devops is automated across the board - no big companies are manually kicking off builds for every PR and pushing the files around the place and then manually deploying them - it's all automated using devops tools. Having AI build and manage these pipelines seems like a logical place to use it, as they are all just about creating steps using pieces from previous steps and other systems.

You absolutely could have AI create a pipeline to build, test, and deploy a solution, and then test the actual deployed solution. The AI is essentially just the coordinator here, tying together the other devops tools.
