I understand tolerating it, but buying into this "you're going to be left behind* narrative is just ridiculous. AI is NOT there yet. And it has so many objectionable downsides with the way it works right now.

    it's the narrative the cult couches their statements in. "no no, I'm not for AI, it's just the inevitable future and if you don't start using it now you're gonna be a slave so of course I'm using it now!"

    As someone who is actually anti-AI, I have yet to find a single task I would need to use AI for, and have been able to strip it out of most of my daily life. With how easy it's been, I can't trust these "afraid of AI but using it" types at all.

    I'm on the same page as you. Many of my colleagues in academia uses LLMs daily. Honestly, I haven't found a task that I couldn't do without it. They drank the kool-aid, I guess.

    AI data centers have a serious fucking environmental problem. It's obscene. And just so they can train it to predict what might be plausible based in what you say? I honestly think it hit the plateau in 2024. When it isn't shoved in my face on web searches I try to give it a chance with the open source ones from a years ago that can run actually on your laptop or from brave which runs it on smaller servers in house and I again see in in face every time on it and duckduckgo, and it's just not reliable at all. And when it's a more right than wrong (god forbid you fact check it) it is jusey regurgitating what the search results say, and the websites get no views or revenue or credit. I feel like the most it is good for is fishing for ideas to try, but literally everyone is encouraged to use it like it's some oracle and I really think it is making them dumber. Honestly, oracles from ancient Greece were probably more accurate.
