No one likes anything forced down their throat. Especially when there is no specific, tangible reason for it. "Increase your productivity" means nothing anymore.

    Oh there are "specific, tangible reasons," and they're all trying to pretend it's not, but we all know it is:

    There are two reasons:

    1. To replace as many disgusting human workers as possible, and keep their paychecks as increased profits.

    2. To surveil us in literally everything we do, force us to live by their standards, and punish us if we don't comply.

    Those are literally the only things the Sociopathic Oligarchs want from AI, and we KNOW it, and that's why we hate it.

    I haven’t met a single person whose productivity has been increased by it. Either they already realised It’s wasting their time, or they haven’t realised yet.

    If my productivity goes up, it means I get more money or can work fewer hours, right?

    I haven't realized it yet. I sometimes find myself able to describe what I want a program to do, but don't know which libraries to use.

    Back in my day, you could have just Googled it. Web search is complete trash now though thanks to a combination of Google and AI.

    I wouldn't even know what to Google, though. The feature is that it accepts a vague and borderline useless input.

    Idk, in my experience that's exactly what Google was useful for. One of the many reasons it was so good around 2010 is it could find stuff without knowing exact keywords. Googling a full sentence question has pretty much always been possible. All the AI data is literally coming from the same place.

    These days there's so much noise in the results, I can't find much of anything I don't already know I'm looking for.
