And eat the dick billionaire shoving at your face willingly? Because that's what AI are, people are forced to used it because their boss demand it.
So maybe you should fight against dick-shoving billionaires, not against useful tools?
How about allowing AI to be rolled out and adopted organically instead of trying to gavage it down everyone's throats?
That's the question to corporations, not to LLMs.
Nobody's fighting against you guys. Why do sloperators have to take everything personally? Smh my head.
If they’re so useful, why are they being forced on everyone, including by making them part of performance reviews?
If they’re useful people will naturally use them.
And people do use them. Naturally.
What about that "forcing" thing you're talking about? Look around. You're being forced with everything by corporations. Why would this new cool technology should be an exception? You're forced to watch sport events, listen to modern music, wear some vogue clothes, kiss your beloved leader's ass, hate those evil Cubans or Ukrainians (depending on who your owner is).
I very often do push back against things that they try to force down everyone's throat.
No, I do none of those things. You just sound like a resentful conformist. Maybe try thinking and doing for yourself, instead of thinking and doing as you’re told.
So cool...
I'd that tool didn't come at the destructive costs involved, AI would be a lot more palatable.
YouTube storing shitillions of dickabytes of cat videos "costs" much more while being completely useless. But those are funny cat videos. Hands off of those videos. Yes?
If that's what it takes to stop the excessive destruction caused by unregulated data center construction and operation, yes.
What "yes"?
Do you need to reread my comment instead of reacting to a single word of it?
You need to reread my comment.
I answered you. But you still seem confused. What don't you understand about my reply?
They're ai and their context window ran out of space lol
Lol sure seems like it. I didn't think my reply was that complex.
I don't care what you do but keep your hands off those videos. I need them for things.
“AI Tools” describes both the product and the people who use them.
What "usefulness" do you get out of them?
They save my time tremendously while searching for something in documentation. Especially if I don't know if it is actually there.
Are you not familiar with "ctrl+f"?
Didn’t know ctrl-f could parse natural language and not only rely on knowing the correct keyword. When did it gain that functionality?
They're not useful tools.
You're screaming into the echo chamber, mate. Unless you're so rabidly anti-AI you believe and spread one of a few comforting, imaginary narratives, you'll be dog piled.
I'm staunchly critical of AI, but won't pretend that it only consists of generative AI, that it still operates as poorly as it did years ago, nor that a disturbing percentage of the population either doesn't care about or actually supports that shit, so I get my share of insults. Being pro-AI won't get you much civility so set your expectations low. Unless you're trolling. Then you've nailed it.
