  • Its good for my job… “I want to calculate the volume of a vessel and figure out what the maximum pressure might be”… Then AI will give me the correct formula for the volume and maximum pressure.

    Ok I hear you but how do you know you are getting the proper formula unless you already know it and AI is just refreshing your memory?

    I do the same, sometimes I forget the syntax of a lesser use function. It is borderline faster to ask AI than it is to go to the reference material (emphasis on borderline) but I only trust it because I would recognize if the info AI is giving me is inaccurate. Even at that it sucks because I have to sift through the rest of the buttering bullshit AI normally pads their answers with… it’s like trying to get a recipe off a recipe site, I don’t care where you learn the recipe lady or why it makes you cry

    Like a ruler, it’s a tool. I’m sure people did not fear rulers when they were first invented as much as people fear this AI thing which is nothing more than a statistical prediction system

    Ok, the reason we all fear (and should fear) THIS ruler is because making and using it is literally destroying our environment. Not only that, this ruler also comes with the great side effects of mass surveillance, loss of democracy, diminishing professional standards, cognitive decline, etc.






  • Sorry but I don’t understand your initial point.

    How is it “great for your job” but you can’t use it because it is usually wrong. How is it great then?

    I also fail to understand your final point:

    Hopefully AI stifles the large companies that need stifling. That would level the playing field and help the rest of us get an edge.

    AI is entirely driven by the “large companies that need stifling” so using AI will, in no way, level any playing field

    I went to a “Mexican” restaurant in Budapest and their interpretation of Mexican food is VERRY different.

    Very different to what you experience in the USA? or very different to what you’d experience in Mexico?

    Most Mexican food in the USA is TexMex which is inspired, but fairly different, from actual Mexican food… same with Chinese food

    People from anywhere can cook authentic food from anywhere else as long as they know what they are doing, so this is bs

    It reminded me of this asshole, who happened to be Italian, claiming that a professionally trained chef could not cook proper Italian food because he was Mexican
