And this is why untold billions are sunk into AI. Creates a dependency on their services and removes agency from end users.
Edit: yes I’m aware it adds agency in the sense that some people can do things they couldn’t do before… as long as that’s permitted/surveilles, which is where the agency is lost.
- WalterSear 1y agoSame as github, then. Same as photoshop. Same as any SAAS. I've don't see how I've lost agency. It's not like it's made me a worse coder: getting so much faster with AI hasn't made me slower without it.

When I use up my Pro account limits, I'm done for the day Aside from the contradictory statements, I did address your points in my edit. I get the tradeoff. As long as whatever you do is in line with the providers of the services, and as long as you're ok with the surveillance, then sure... It's a tradeoff that MUST be considered and be aware of..

- fragmede 1y agoDo cars remove agency from drivers? If I'm on a road trip, and 200 miles into it, 100 miles from my destination, it breaks down, should I start walking, or find another motorized vehicle to complete my journey? Local models exist.
