See picture.
If people have no need for it then they wouldn’t be using it. Full stop. I don’t get your argument.
Clearly the statistics are showing people need it. It is making tasks quicker and/or easier. That’s the point.
You thinking otherwise doesn’t change statistics.
Yes I can do the same shit without it but that means more work and more time. Why would I do that? (I’m saying this as a proxy for the average person)
The problem with your argument is it runs counter to the facts.
AI adoption is here. You can bury your head in the sand and pretend that’s not so, or you can acknowledge it and know there is work still to do.

Again based on real world experience I disagree. The problem is the people doing the AI coding and how they were before?
I have a strong coding background. I know what AI is coding for me. I give it strong guardrails. It does for me in minutes something that would take me hours. I will still review and QA what it does.
The problem is people who use it to built a monolith of code and I’ve seen my fair share of that AND documentation driven by AI. It’s unneedingly obtuse and verbose and reeks of people who do not know what they’re doing.
There is a huge difference in telling AI to “build me a website in Django” vs. “build me a function to do xyz when the parameters are abc and the return value needs to be lmn”
I disagree in part. Many people have replaced searching with AI.
Take a pic of something in chatGPT. “What is this?”
It’s highly useful in everyday life.
The problem is that people my age were skilled before AI so it is literally just making things easier for us which is the point.
Kids on the other hand, it is taking away their opportunity to learn as my generation did and that’s a huge problem.
Then we get back to the underlying problem. Governance and standards.
Should AI be allowed in school? Should companies be forced to continue entry level jobs that could be phased out by AI?
You could ask a million questions.
The problem with human nature is we are great at figuring out if we can do things we don’t stop to think of we should do things.
My personal experience but the people who blindly bitch about AI are, quite frankly, idiots.
I use AI daily for work it’s an extremely helpful tool as you stated. I still have concerns with it.
The difference is I understand human nature and the genie cannot be put back in the bottle. We need governance and standards and it needs to be a utility just like hydro, water and The Internet. There also needs to be a global UBI yesterday.
What people are bitching about with AI amount to the lack of control we the people have over it.
I’m surprised you haven’t been downvoted but I bet I will for calling a spade a spade in these people so rigidly opposed.
One of mine is that the truth (in a news/reporting/journalism respect) tends to always lean left.
Canada is serious in our unseriousness
Without income id be fucked but at the same time kind of like you I have the equity locked away. I could as of now move back to a small town mortgage free. I choose not to because I need to milk the system as much as I can before I parachute back to nowhere.
I feel this. I love modestly but my parents had it worse so we didn’t do much either. What gets me is the amount of people who are reaping the benefits of generational wealth which I think is the only reason my peers are affording the lives they have.
It’s part of why I associate most with immigrants. They understand the struggle more than people who look like me.
I have an Indian coworker who lives with her husband and child in a 1 bedroom apartment and she’s the single breadwinner and struggles hard. I admire her more than anyone else in my office.
Meh. Close but annoyed more than anything but I fully admit I am an outlier making > $200k CAD a year.
I feel for everyone who is struggling and I’m sure to always tell my kids they have more in common with the homeless man in the park than they do with Elon Musk.
I hear you but for me in my early 20s I was on IRC getting drunk and high trying to bang chicks. When did we lose the plot? Lol
In Canada the entire construction industry is basically the mob. Has been for decades.
Reunite TTLG and make a new Thief game with the original voice actor for Garrett.
Taking my autistic sons newest obsession “Salandia” but it has the be said the same way he says it.
The world can become enlightened in the gospel of Noah. He puts a smile on the face of everyone he meets.
I don’t know if it’s a real word, I just know it’s what a crow says in some video he watched lol
That’s some bullshit I’d push them for the explicit reason that applies to that clause.
So the easy question is what have they told you? Did they send you article 4 or are you assuming?
Based on that and your store I see no reason. I’d be curious what their TOS is.
She is such a vibe I am down with.
Her new album is burning slower with me but the more I listen the more I love it.
Ok? But that’s you. I don’t work for Microsoft I work for a major financial company and I have not seen the disastrous impacts you are seeing nor are we rolling out end user software.
