AI has helped me rediscover my love of coding. It helps me write my emails for me, puts together my shopping list, and gives me advice on how to structure my day. AI tells me what to do. I don't have to fear my choices anymore, because AI makes the choices for me.
Step 2: insert reference to AI
There is no future for AI doomers. Bye bye dodos.
Far from “dooming”, AI currently has a major public image problem - it’s got a lower approval rating than the current President. Most people’s perception of AI is the lousy customer service chatbot, a phone tree that doesn’t work when they call customer service, and AI generated spam, scammy images, and so forth. Couple with that the frequent press about “AI is going to replace your job” and the public image problem…
What's "AI"? (I'm going to guess you mean generative AI such as image/video/text generation used to create slop on Facebook, but I really wish posts like this would clarify.)
Use the ample context clues or have AI explain it to you, but either way we don't need useless comments like these.
One problem is that when people delegate tasks to AI, they don't themselves learn anything from doing the task -- not just in the general sense of personal improvement, but in the very concrete sense of "what is it that was produced". Before AI, when someone showed you a presentation or an Excel sheet, even if it was complete horseshit that they had made up, they knew what was in it: they knew more about it than you,…
Honestly, quite a tragedy for many. Myself, I have to be constantly fighting against this to slow myself down
2001: I'm Sick of Internet Everything
Why though? It is the technology of today's times. 70s had microprocessors, 80s had languages and tools, 90s was about the internet, 00s was about e-commerce and then web2.0 and later iPhone, mobile/local/social, 15s-20s was gig and creator economy, blockchain, metaverse... and now its AI. If you are sick of reading about AI, what would you rather read/talk about?
Even the top post on HN about ChatGPT’s image generation is full of a bunch of comments just saying “wow this is epic”, “I can make so many mangas with this”, etc. Or a post about a new model where people are saying bland stuff like “this doesn’t write Typescript as well as Nut43-2.1-Max”. Compare those to a post about language design, for instance, and you’d see a lot more interesting discussion and opinions.
Just my opinion though. It seems like the more interesting topics in AI are related to its divisiveness, and even that is getting super old after years of it going on.

Bot implementation quality is up to the engineer. It is not an inherent limitation of the LLM. Granted, management always comes in the way of a good deliverable. I ask people to vote with their wallet if the experience is lacking. AI replacing jobs is a good thing. I don't know why people want to keep doing stupid jobs that even a machine can do. As for their income, they should vote for politicians that give them be…

Sam and Dario were in the closet making AIs and I saw one of the AIs and the AI looked at me.

I literally guessed from the context clues in the (parentheses in my post).
Then why did you ask the question?
I was making a point that saying "I hate AI" is intellectually lazy. The discourse here can be a whole lot better if people put more effort into clarity.
I want Hacker News to be a better place for technically sophisticated conversations than most of Reddit.
