    there are jobs I would have turned down before that would have taken thousands of hours but thanks to AI I only spent 10’s of hours on them

    Weird take. You would have turned down a job because it takes “too long”? The whole point of wages is to get money for your time.

    Also, highly doubt something that would take you a “thousand hours” now can be done with AI in tens. Something useful, I mean.

    Social media on the other hand is a plague of garbage and I wish facebook and twitter would be deleted off the net

    You clearly weren’t around when it all started. Social media was peddled as a legitimately useful thing. People organized around Facebook groups, and stopped paying telecommunication companies for SMS usage because of WhatsApp. LinkedIn became the dominant player in white collar job seeking. In Asia, super apps like Line or Kakao or WeChat became so popular, they became the mainstream way of finding, contacting and paying businesses for services. Twitter was the place for legitimate reporters to post short form content.

    It all went downhill afterwards. Most people thought, at the beginning, that social media would revolutionize the world as we knew it. They just didn’t know it wouldn’t be in a good way.

      Maybe put your response into AI and have it re-write it for you to come across as less of a dick

        My .md files have a prompt to keep things honest, so either way, you would have gotten the same result.

              Weird take. You would have turned down a job because it takes “too long”? The whole point of wages is to get money for your time.

              I have an unending number of jobs, a job that takes a thousand hours means I can’t spend a thousand hours doing other more important jobs, in this case AI made the job so much quicker to do I was able to fit it in, yay productivity

              It has also helped me speed up individual jobs that take ages before

              You clearly weren’t around when it all started

              Why would you say this and then insert the POPULAR opinion at the time and then APPLY that to me? Does a fuckin lemmy user look like your average lemming?

              At the time Facebook came out I had already been using internet forums for over 5 years and Facebook users used real names, which (if you remember at the time :P ) wasn’t a thing us cool kids did, using your real name on the internet was for [email protected] losers

              and stopped paying telecommunication companies for SMS usage because of WhatsApp

              Whatsapp is a messenger app not a social network but you did get me thinking about how I talked to my family so I had to go back through my old screenshots and phone screenshots, at first I just spoke to them irl and my brother on MSN Messenger then I setup a home XMPP network and used https://psi-im.org/ ! How good is that! Then moved to Slack and finally to Telegram, I think I was going to use Whatsapp but Facebook bought it in February 19, 2014 and I detested facebook and declined to use it

              Most people thought, at the beginning, that social media would revolutionize the world as we knew it

              I don’t care about most people, I thought facebook sucked, Twitter even more so, I haven’t signed up to twitter ever, I find short responses generate shit arguments and I’ve seen nothing to counter this, twitter is the internets sewerage pipe, pumping out garbage shit 24x7

              Also not a huge fan of reddit these days as it appears to be on a downtrend towards youtube comments tier garbage, people don’t bother to read the article and instead just post their current opinion even if it directly contradicts what the article said wasn’t happening (that said not much better here on Lemmy either)

              I did sign up for Mastodon though, and sadly it was like what I’d seen of twitter (since people can’t help but post twitter screenshots literally every fucking where) but instead of right wing American garbage it was left wing American garbage (that said not much better here on Lemmy either)

              Anyway, thanks for the trip down memory lane but social media always sucked and was never useful to me, AI on the other hand has been incredible for me despite what you think I think
