Programmer Humor

I admit, I'm tempted to read the AI answer when I search something; but holy crap is it a patronizing waste of time. Just now I was searching about a game and the long page of AI answer essentially boiled down to "kill stuff to get stronger," like brah, I know, I'm trying to look up exact formulas here, you piece of shit.

My questions are never answered by it, and when it tries, it's wrong even with follow up info. Man I really could live without it, lol.

Edit: oh, and this is a relatively new game but on both Google and Bing indexes, the first page and a half are clearly AI generated. Same boilerplate nothingburger answers. No surprise the search AI isn't good, it's regurgitating other AI answers. MAN I could live without it.

Does this guy actually think the average AI-hater is also addicted to it?

That person probably exists, but they're nowhere close to the majority.

Tell me you’ve completely forgotten how to do your job without telling me you’ve completely forgotten how to do your job.

I'm imagining we are horse breeders in a time where automobiles were not perfect for transportation yet and horses were still everywhere.... Not wanting to see a future potentially making us obsolete in our current job is making many people at least blind to the benefits of LLMs and at worst ignorant of the future. Some of us might still be able to drive horse carriages for old times sake, but the rest...

If you don’t use AI of course you won’t miss it.

I use AI and still want it to fuck off.

I like LLMs even with their (big and inherent) flaws.

However, I also don't like it to be sprinkled everywhere. I want affordable smaller LLMs that run locally on my own hardware. RAM prices right now make that financially impossible for me.

That way I'm the one who has to deal with the flaws (even more with smaller LLMs) and the energy prices but on the other hand it's private and I have sovereignty. Nobody can turn off features or change the model or increase subscription prices or change the API or steal my data.

Stupidest question I've seen in a while.

Yeah, I'm fine with giving up something I never used.

And, from what I've read many of the people who use it for work only do so to appease their idiot bosses.
