The technology isn't the problem. Believe it or not, LLMs are incredibly capable at a variety of tasks, including coding, curating news articles, writing and reading config files, system administration, note keeping / summarization / evaluation, and a whole lot more. Yes, there are a lot of things that an LLM is not good at, but just because I can't fly a helicopter doesn't mean I couldn't drive you to the airport.

The problem isn't the technology, it's the potential for the technology to be completely owned and operated by corporations rather than people.

    This technology is the equivalent to oil from snakes, it is a problem.

    no it isnt, pretty good at short projects and answering any question that has any source available online, the issue is when it runs out of memory or cant find a source, its superior to search engines and has been for years because seo, spam, and promotion ruined searching the normal way

    If it has a source online then the AI does nothing but obscures and pollutes that information until it is commonly wrong and/or useless.

    Any "short project" utilizing AI deserves to fail, and it will, because nobody wants to buy slop and the mere inclusion of AI degrades to value of everything it touches.

    why do you think short project means for sale or for anyone other than myself, stuff thatd take me many tutorials or enough learning time that it wouldnt feel worthwhile to do is made easy by ai and costs pennies at most with deepseek, I like automating things to happen like backups sent to my 2nd pc when certain files update, my browser session automatically copied as a second profile to it as well, I would never have bothered manually setting up the automation that ai did in seconds.

    It's extremely useful for mundane tasks for yourself, automating stuff you may not care to do manually, it's your own problem if you think you need to sell everything and can't find usecases for yourself.

    It can also find and read logs better than I can, saves me a ton of time debugging and I always end up solving the problem. If you're going off ai from 2 years ago, those with no real access to any agent tools or skills, or free models than ofc youd think they are incompetent but they are far from it. An indespensable tool that keeps me from needing to look up scripts and software that I end up not using because of the hassle involved compared to the importance of the automation.

    Ah, by short project you meant masturbation? I think most people assume project to mean job or work being done, even if a passion project. Idgaf about your masturbation slopper but I would prefer if it cost less energy to the grid.

    Ive had it make blender addons for little things, like speeding up my process for sampling sound, but they're kinda useless with the last update so I dont use them anymore

    That's potentially the dumbest use case I've heard so far. Bro uses fucking LLMs to sync files.

    Now why the fk would I learn how to do it. Why do you act like the only use case for ai is making a profit and not just doing shit you dont want to learn it cost .0008 cents a request, and saves me hella time, why would I learn how to use python and figure out the rsync command for this when I can automate it in less than a minute using AI

    FALSE

    You act like the only purpose is gooning or trying to make a business and sell software, FALSE YOU CAN USE IT FOR BASIC TASKS FOR YOURSELF THAT ARE OTHERWISE TEDIOUS AND REQUIRE LEARNING HOW TO CODE AND WRITE SCRIPTS OR PAYING OTHERS FOR THEIR SOFTWARE
