It's dramatically useful for millions of people who are now much more productive than they were 3 years ago, including the programmers who have 10x'd their output.
Your superiority complex is nothing new... anytime new technology emerges, there's an old crochety class that thinks it's a fad. It's always people arrogant enough to believe they know the world better than everybody else.
And no, billions of people aren't spending money on tech purely because of FOMO. That's just nonsense.
- gloosx 2y agoYou really like to shift things into personal attacks, huh? "It's dramatically useful for millions of people who are now much more productive than they were 3 years ago, including the programmers who have 10x'd their output." - anecdotally Your productivity cult is nothing new, anytime new quantity multiplier emerges, there's a freshman manager class like you who thinks quantity>quality. It is obvious from your comment since more productive and 10x output are the only things you praised there. It's always people arrogant enough to believe they are riding the right hype-train, and everybody else is left behind.
- bobxmax 2y agoLol okay buddy. That's why there are literally millions of people spending money every month and upgrading because of how useful this is. But there's always some big brained ape on hacker news who thinks they know better and everyone is just riding the hype train. Nearly half of Google engineers' outputs are coming from AI generated code, but you obviously know better than all of them.
- gloosx 2y agoMillions of people spending money is not an indicator how useful something is. "Nearly half of Google engineers' outputs are coming from AI generated code" – let's take a look at the results: 30 discontinued products for the past 3 years, and just 1 new product: Gemini, which got it's glorious 10% market share. Now that's a productivity monster. Google is such a successful company now: they released 1 new product which didn't even surpass the microsoft chatbot in market share, and people are adding "fucking" to searches in order to get adequate search results. Great growth, was definitely not possible without AI!
- bobxmax 2y agoTotally. And where do you work that's so much more succesful? lol No, millions of people smarter and more succesful than you TELLING you it's useful is what makes it more useful. But when you're this arrogant it'll never register. Like I said, this is nothing new. It's like the arrogant boobs who thought smartphones were just a fad. Or the famous HN commenter who said Dropbox was pointless.
- gloosx 2y agoAllrightie, at least I don't have millions of people telling me anything, that sounds really uncomfortable Excessive smartphone use can lead to mental injury btw, take care
