    Fuck that, anything “AI” worth anything is just algorithms we already had that were rebranded to take advantage of stupid people. My life is going just fine without its nonsense, thanks.

      While what you describe does happen (and are the worst of the worst examples of shitty unnecessary bullshit) LLMs are not algorithms we already had.

      Things like ChatGPT/Copilot are novel tech. You might not like them, and they can hallucinate answers, but it is new.

      My life is going just fine without its nonsense, thanks.

      The theory is that you will be left behind, not that your life is missing anything.

      Picture the native Americans before colonialism. Their lives were going just fine, but then a money addicted hyper “efficient” type of culture appeared and they weren’t able to raise armies and build weapons at the rate necessary to keep their way of life.

      If you + LLM can do your job more efficiently than you alone then by supply/demand your value as an employee is going down by refusing to adapt, and your salary will reflect your comparatively lower output than your peers.

      No, it very much isn’t. AI is a mass data analysis tool with vastly greater capabilities than any human counterpart.
