Your all just not seeing the bright side. It's also replacing well-paying jobs in the arts, the literary world, and in marketing.
Who wouldn't want AI to take over all of those things?

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.

Man even you're missing the bright side.
At least an insanely tiny group of people got absurdly wealthy! Who cares the world is going to complete shit, Nvidia stock!! Nvidia stock!! It's all that matters!
I'm all for eliminating marketing jobs, but not if we still have marketing.
even more marketing than ever, and it's generated on the fly starring the likeness of your dead grandma!
When it comes to looking up information, I no longer rely on Google. AI does exactly what I need it to, sometimes I have to rephrase my question, worst case.
@StaySquared @dgerard this has strong "I own a Tesla" energy
Nah.. I don't plan to purchase an EV for a long time, if ever.
impressive, I didn't realize you could dig further
I'm sorry you have such narrow boundaries of things you want to know about. or such lax requirements on correctness.
but I'm not sorry about how much shit you'll eat somewhere down the line.
i see into the future by gutting techbros
seeing into the future bit optional
Narrow boundaries? I don't use Google primarily due to the waste of time going through pages upon pages of information I'm looking for.
Just about my entire IT team uses AI for searching IT related issues and solutions to those issues. However, I personally apply it to other subject matters besides IT.
I'd hate to meet you at parties
Because... AI is able to find answers to my questions faster than Google can? wat. Time is precious, ain't got time fo dat.
typically one prefers their questions be answered correctly. but hey, you are free to be wrong faster now
It provides correct answers.
I will give you an example, this was for a recent project we had with a machine that requires to be connected to the internet at all times through a VPN connection.
How to setup Windows VPN to automatically reconnect after connection loss using PowerShell?
Using PowerShell Script
Create a PowerShell Script to Monitor and Reconnect VPN:
Open Notepad and paste the following script:
In powershell
$vpnName = "Your_VPN_Connection_Name"
$username = "your_username"
$password = "your_password"
while ($true) {
$vpnConnection = Get-VpnConnection -Name $vpnName
if ($vpnConnection.ConnectionStatus -ne "Connected") {
rasdial $vpnName $username $password
}
Start-Sleep -Seconds 60
}
Replace $vpnName, $username, and $password with your VPN connection details.
Save this file with a .ps1 extension, e.g., vpn_reconnect.ps1.
Set Up Task Scheduler to Run the PowerShell Script:
Follow the same steps as in Method 2, but when selecting the program to start, use powershell.exe and add the script path as an argument.
Example: powershell.exe -File "C:\path\to\your\vpn_reconnect.ps1"
holy fuck shut up, nobody fucking asked

When time is precious, use AI for all your glue in pizza queries.
Of course, Google is also crapified, but at least there is still a search engine underneath.
So does AI.
This is a pretty solid tool: https://www.perplexity.ai/
you are way, way too short for this ride

Hey now, give humans some credit. I'm sure we could've missed our climate goals without AI's help.
Tech companies make the case that AI, including tools such as ChatGPT, is not only partially causing climate change, it’s also helping to address it.
In the case of Google, that could mean using data to predict future flooding, or making traffic flow more efficiently, to save gasoline.
Sounds like a fallacy. It's a significant 13% year-to-year increase in pollution, with the hope of a future, potential, slim reduction in gasoline usage.
Prediction model: keep using me and the whole world will be flooded
Google: See! It’s helping us!
Ah yes the well known infallible AI responses like future flooding prediction:
"As to the question of flooding, according to data gathered we would place the chance of flooding at 99.99% in the area of Mons Agnes "
"could" is a word meaning "doesn't"

The author neglected to link to the actual report. Page 34 and 35. The Scope 2 stats the article cited don't account for clean power generated.
Their link for the claim "Google cited AI as the cause" doesn't mention power at all.
The link for the Microsoft numbers takes me to a report saying the 30% number is for Scope 3 emissions, which have nothing to do data center power usage.
