Aren't we all tired by this pro-AI stuff? Use it if you wanna ruin the planet. Don't use it if you care about maintaining skill. I just don't really wanna hear

I just don't really wanna hear about your pro-AI peddling anymore.
- NitpickLawyer 9mo agoEh, like everything on the Internet, the anti crowd is becoming more obnoxious than the pro crowd ever was. It has become an identity thing, more than a technical thing, and it always sucks when it devolves into that.
- kranner 9mo agoIt is still a technical thing though. AI generated code is outright buggy when it’s not mediocre but the pro AI crowd is pretending you can guardrail and test suite your way to good generated code. As if painting a picture in negative space is somehow less work than painting it directly. And that’s when you know all the requirements (the picture) upfront.

- rootnod3 9mo agoIs wasting massive fucktons of water and electricity an identity thing? Is it identity that RAM now costs 10x what it used to?
- lostmsu 9mo agoWhat are you gonna spend these water and electricity in US on instead?

- lostmsu 9mo agoSince you thought not elaborating is a good idea, I take it you want more electricity for: - Bitcoin mining - weapons production - banking infrastructure - making slop TV shows - charging preteen phones - playing Mario cart - heating empty mansions to 27C in winter
- rootnod3 9mo ago- cheaper electricity price for consumers - less pollution - a more stable grid there, fixed it for you
- lostmsu 9mo agoFrom the consumer perspective no ChatGPT with slightly cheaper electricity is a no-no. Like you might be happy about that arrangement, but most won't. You don't have any data to corroborate less AI -> less pollution, especially long term. Same for grid stability.

- exitb 9mo agoAI is now a mainstream technology and well within the area of topics discussed on this board. Are we going to sit around and pretend it’s 2021? It’s like getting annoyed that all we talk about is computers.
