Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

No, I’m sorry. It is very useful and isn’t going away. This threads is either full of Luddites or disingenuous people.

I have friends who are computer engineers and they say that it does a pretty good job of generating code, but that's not a general population use case. For most people, AI is a nearly useless product. It makes Google searches worse. It makes your phone voice assistant worse. It's not as good as human artists. And it's mostly used to create dumbass posts on Reddit to farm engagement. In my life, AI has not made anything better.

nobody asked you to post in this thread. you came and posted this shit in here because the thread is very popular, because lots and lots of people correctly fucking hate generative AI

so I guess please enjoy being the only “non-disingenuous” bootlicker you know outside of work, where everyone’s required (under implicit threat to their livelihood) to love this shitty fucking technology

but most of all: don’t fucking come back, none of us Luddites need your mid ass

@blarth @TheThrillOfTime huh. You totally name at least one use case then, huh
You only didn't because it's so blindingly obvious

(It's BS)
Also, learn about Luddites, man
