    Its an improved search engine without all the bullshit of scrolling through and reading dozens of websites.

    Improved, but also is sometimes wrong, destroys our planet, and tracks everything you do with it.

      Don’t forget the part where, in sparing you from reading those sites, it also strips away context clues that might otherwise help you gauge whether it’s a reliable source and whether it even applies to your problem.

      50/50 I like Ai because when the bubble busts, we are going to have an abundance of nuclear, wind, and solar left over. There will be no incentive to burn anything for energy. So that’s a bit of a win. Steel mills would probably benefit and be convinced with handouts to ditch coke furnaces and switch to arc furnaces. Just to use up the excess power. The same would go for companies like rockwool, who still use coke for making insulation.

      So there’s that hope. Kina like tesla. Fuck that p.o.s. but if it ends up killing the car dealer ship practice. Well fuck. I hate those pricks even more.

      It’s quite a bit more than that. It generates useful technical solutions with impressive accuracy.

      My biggest issue is not privacy, I use it more or less like a search engine (+ coding). I am already tracked there. If I want a private one, there exists providers for that. Both AI and search engines. I am more focused on efficiency at the moment, not privacy.

      Should I avoid it completely? Or should I embrace it? I currently use it for a lot of tailored software solutions. It can really quickly write addons to software I use. It makes it possible for me to do optimizations to various pipelines/flows in my life. Yes, I am capable of writing the software myself, but I can also just ssh into my PC and make it do it for me.

      So… the issue for me is that it is way to tempting to use, even if unethical in many regards.

        Impressive accuracy? I used it not 60 minutes ago to try and find out his to find the uptime on a Nokia radio CLI and spent 20 minutes with AI and it was not correct once.

          Works for my usecases almost always. Is this a niche CLI? Did you use an agent or a chatbot? Did you feed it the repo/documentation?

              Yeah, it’s so much cooler to learn how to type things into something that costs money and already does what you can do for free with slightly more effort.

            Niche or not, most switching/routing/firewalls I see several inaccuracies because the syntax changes a lot. I waste a lot of time in networking CLI and just better off using good ol question marks on the CLI.
