Every time some product or service introduces AI (or more accurately shoves it down our throats) people start looking for a way to get rid of it. It's so strange how much money and time companies are pouring into "features" that the public continues to reject at every opportunity. At this point I'm convinced that the endless AI hype and all the investment is purely due to hopes that it will soon put vast numbers of e…

no. On the contrary. We will need people to clean the mess left by AI

Earlier quoted context omitted.

No it's not. It's because management is tone deaf and out of touch. They'll latch onto literally anything put in front of them as a way out of their inability to iterate and innovate on their products. Throwing "ai" into it is a simple addition, if it works, great, if it doesn't well the market just wasn't ready. But if they have to actually talk to their users and solve their real problems that's a really hard pill…

Today it is AI. Yesterday it was Blockchain. Tomorrow it will be Agentic AI Blockchains. I know what you are thinking: robots are coming for our jobs after that. Don't worry! Those AI robots will run on the Cloud.

But that's where my job is!

I work with ML and I am bullish with AI in general; said that, I would pay between 5 to 10 USD a feature or toggle called “No AI” for several services. For myself I noticed 2 bad effects in my daily usage: - Search: impossible to reach any original content in the first positions. Almost everything sounds like AIsh. The punctuation, the commas, the semicolon, the narro vocabulary, and the derivative nature of the rece…

for the search problem, I use Kagi. It's a breath of fresh air!

Better than Google in every single aspect, except shopping. The shopping results in Google are actually good.
