I fear AI is going to be used for everything not because it's the best solution, but because people are inherently lazy and just want to get their thing done, and they don't care so much about the quality.
"low effort and convenient" seems to consistently win over "best quality" and this is going to be a downgrade in everything, for everyone
- tty456 4mo agoI assume for a lot of people, an llm is going to produce higher quality results for most knowledge tasks than they could do on their own. I think that's okay
- demorro 4mo agoIt's practically guaranteed. Most people will have no more need to learn how to perform miscellaneous knowledge tasks well if at all, and thus won't.
- inigyou 4mo agoWe already see the slopification of everything as companies have been reducing the quality of their output for many years. Look at windows 11 vs 98. Yes it does more and crashes less but is it actually better apart from that? Of the things both of them do, which one does them better? Which one runs faster? Which one is easier to use?
- mike_hock 4mo agoGiven the hardware these systems run on, and the compilers and development tools they had available, Win98 was actually the more impressive piece of engineering.
- Gigachad 4mo agoWindows is the result of having almost the entire market. There has been no reason for Microsoft to improve windows because it won't sell more licenses. They have already sold Windows to every person who will possibly buy it. So the only avenue for growth is selling additional services on top like cloud subscriptions, AI products, etc. Contrast that to the last 10 years in Linux where things have become immensely better.
