For the most part AI is the best OCR ever designed. And if used for that it really is great. Most AI agents you see our there are mostly just used for that: ocr.
It's also nice-ish to start writing simple programs, if you know how it works it sets you more or less in the right path in a few prompts. That head start can be nice.
It also helps in Excel with charting.
It also is helpful for acquiring knowledge. AS LONG AS YOU CHECK THE LINKED SOURCES.
If you don't you will crash and burn. Not eventually but quick.
So yes, AI does have uses and Yes, it will cost some people their jobs, especially in knowledge Industries and IT.
But then again, that's a tale as old as time. Stuff changes.
(AI) datacenters will not go away. Desktop processing will vanish. And then, 15 years from now, someone gets a great idea and starts selling Personal AI computers. And this cycle will redo from start.
It is. It's one of the reasons i've pivot back to reddit these last few months.
More then Reddit this place is an echo chamber for the far left anti capitalist crowd. While I don't mind a discussion, everything over simplified to EAT THE RICH was getting tiresome.
No company or institution is here. If I have a problem with my [insert device or appliance here] chances are good someone on reddit will reply and 50/50 there is a useable answer somewhere. Here it just stays silent. Or you get the anti capitalist reply that everything is fucked and we should just eat the rich.
There are no real gaming or device or brand communities. Want to ask something about modding game x? Not here. Want to hook up with other players of game y? Not here. Want to know how to fix your [household appliance here]? Not here..Have a problem with mainboard from brand z? Not here.
When you ask something here about Linux or any other gpl software the answer often times boils down to RTFMI! (I= idiot) That also happens on reddit to be honest. But here it's just more extreme. And I know I'm an idiot. That's why I asked. I'm too stupid can someone please explain.
Where the fuck is LJDawson. Sync is dead it seems.
And yes. Reddit more and more feels like an AI test site. For example the AITA posts are getting more and more out of this world. They are unbelievable, that's just for clicks. So the enshittification is not slowly but very fast becoming a problem and within a few months it will be another youtube, unusable. But for now... It's the best we have.
