    The less access to AI, the better. These fucking slopbots produce liability in exchange for a third of our electricity, fuck em all straight to hell. I wish the Chinese would ban the US bots, too, if they haven’t yet.

      The technology isn’t the problem. Believe it or not, LLMs are incredibly capable at a variety of tasks, including coding, curating news articles, writing and reading config files, system administration, note keeping / summarization / evaluation, and a whole lot more. Yes, there are a lot of things that an LLM is not good at, but just because I can’t fly a helicopter doesn’t mean I couldn’t drive you to the airport.

      The problem isn’t the technology, it’s the potential for the technology to be completely owned and operated by corporations rather than people.

          no it isnt, pretty good at short projects and answering any question that has any source available online, the issue is when it runs out of memory or cant find a source, its superior to search engines and has been for years because seo, spam, and promotion ruined searching the normal way

            If it has a source online then the AI does nothing but obscures and pollutes that information until it is commonly wrong and/or useless.

            Any “short project” utilizing AI deserves to fail, and it will, because nobody wants to buy slop and the mere inclusion of AI degrades to value of everything it touches.

              why do you think short project means for sale or for anyone other than myself, stuff thatd take me many tutorials or enough learning time that it wouldnt feel worthwhile to do is made easy by ai and costs pennies at most with deepseek, I like automating things to happen like backups sent to my 2nd pc when certain files update, my browser session automatically copied as a second profile to it as well, I would never have bothered manually setting up the automation that ai did in seconds.

              It’s extremely useful for mundane tasks for yourself, automating stuff you may not care to do manually, it’s your own problem if you think you need to sell everything and can’t find usecases for yourself.

              It can also find and read logs better than I can, saves me a ton of time debugging and I always end up solving the problem. If you’re going off ai from 2 years ago, those with no real access to any agent tools or skills, or free models than ofc youd think they are incompetent but they are far from it. An indespensable tool that keeps me from needing to look up scripts and software that I end up not using because of the hassle involved compared to the importance of the automation.

                Ah, by short project you meant masturbation? I think most people assume project to mean job or work being done, even if a passion project. Idgaf about your masturbation slopper but I would prefer if it cost less energy to the grid.
