I guess we just have to accept meth being forced into everything because the cat is out of the bag!
Last time I sullied my fingers with a copilot prompt, it decided lobster was vegan so I immediately scrapped that idea and went back to real intelligence. I would be 100.00% delighted if "AI" disappeared.
I use AI at work everyday. If it went away the only thing that would change is I’d just go back to googling stuff
And if googling went away I’d just go back to those giant books with the animals on them.

Hey there buddy, wanna overthrow the prime minister of Malaysia with me?
As soon as you answer "but why models?"
Mail Models
Buttery males!
sames. That said, if AI went away, we have a few already-deployed systems that would go poof too. They increase throughput of the humans doing real work (we're not building reverse centaurs here). Since we implemented them, we've not needed to hire more.
This is the 3rd of 4th time recently that I've heard someone, directly or indirectly, describe AI like meth. The first one was Hank Green when he said something along the lines of getting hooked on 'being able to get things done faster,' which is exactly how many people end up meth-heads.

Honestly I don’t need ai, but time is money,
I can survive ai but a lot of things are time consuming
So yes, I rarely use ai, honestly ai kinda sucks
It’s time to heavily regulate ai
I would be very sad if it went away. It can perform tasks that are otherwise impossible without the expense of incredible amounts of the most valuable of all resources: time.
Thankfully I have it setup locally, so it's not truly a potential outcome.
I'm 50. I would do just fine without AI like I did when we didn't have the Internet. I'll adjust. It might be a pain without GPS, Google Maps. Being without a cell phone would be a big one for me as well. It's not like we have pay phones anymore. And I would have to go back to pagers/beepers. But i would manage either way.
The loss of AI would barely be noticable for the average person. A bunch of developers would have a bad day trying to remove all that integration they were forced by management to add, but beyond that, people would move on.
Removing the Internet as a whole at this stage would be basically impossible without halting pretty much every economic force on the planet, I think. The Internet acts as the backbone of pretty much everything related to monetary transactions or logistics in general.
Yep, and after IOT stuff even some people homes would have plenty of problems
I would do just fine without AI like I did when we didn’t have the Internet.
I mean, I considered the internet a godsend for a whole host of reasons and have been much better off with it than without it. Auto-Nav alone has saved me more hours utterly lost in my car than I care to think about.
But i would manage either way.
Wouldn't really have a choice.
But then that's the thing with AI. It's not "the internet". It's this superfluous annoying add-on that keeps getting forced into platforms I was perfectly happy to use without it.
I'm constantly "choosing" not to use it and then finding the damned thing branded onto the ass-end of whatever new application or environment I approach.
I'm not using any "forced on me" AI products, other than as a search engine aid, and I have better tools for that now anyway.
I do, absolutely use AI. I use local, self hosted small focused AI that run on old hardware I was just using to self host media and games anyway.
Want do my AI do? Lots of boring organizing, text/voice recognition, and script/simple coding for hobby projects and such, all offline. For online stuff there are private large models vailable, but those cost money and I'm cheap.
If I lost it all? Well it would just take me longer to do the boring stuff and have less time for fun stuff edit
Anti-ai influencers using ai to complete their videos.
people wouldnt just lie on the internet
In Photoshop, do I lose access to content-aware fill or just generative fill? Which selection tools remain?
Content aware fill isn't considered AI, and came out in 2010
If content-aware fill launched today, I bet they'd call it AI. Algorithms were variably called AI in 2010, depending on what we were talking about. But Adobe marketed content-aware fill as "magic" more than anything.
