If AI was all it was cracked up to be, it wouldn't be shoved in your face 24/7 (startrek.website)

[I literally had this thought in the shower this morning so please don't gatekeep me lol.]

If AI was something everyone wanted or needed, it wouldn't be constantly shoved your face by every product. People would just use it.

Imagine if printers were new and every piece of software was like "Hey, I can put this on paper for you" every time you typed a word. That would be insane. Printing is a need, and when you need to print, you just print.

As someone (forgot which blog I read it on, sorry) recently observed: if AI made software development so much easier, we'd be drowning in great new apps by now.

    Yeah, and we wouldn't have so much garbage code out there breaking the internet. I tried to argue with someone on another site who was saying AI was the best thing ever basically, with my own real world encounters (that are weekly now) of why it's not and often wrong. He said the people using must be idiots, which sure, but if an idiot can get bad answers than it's not that good. He finished by saying he would never hire me because I refuse to use AI within my IT job. Alright, whatever dude. I can't wait to be pissed off by the shit application you coded with AI when it runs like hot garbage.
