There's something about certain people in this community and I don't know what it is but they don't seem to be able to understand the most fundamental point of all which is that 99% of the population of the planet aren't coders.

AI is useless to me because I don't really spend much time programming.

    Reverse dunning-kruger does play out often here.

    Recently i said out loud "Well when most people hear 'semiconductors' they automatically think 'silicon', however..." and then trailed off as I realized my audience (parents asking me what I do at work) they had immediately stopped listening.

    Fine, another anecdote, I know several people that don't use search engines anymore and go directly to chatgpt. Do I think that's good? No but I'm not pretending it's not happening

    Until it can ingest arbitrary URLs that contain documentation, images that contain relevant information need to be OCR into knowledge articles, random emails somebody sent me 6 months ago, and teams chats, it isn't much used to me.

    The truth is most work that AI could do hasn't been optimised for AI usage it's been optimised towards random organic human usage which AI is totally incapable of ingesting.

    Please come back to me when it can deal with the six different VPNs I have to manage in order to be barely competent to my job

    Oh and of course the timesheet application which apparently is super duper important.

    The real world is messy, inconsistent, and requires planning to document.

    But you tell me about all your friends that swear by it, I'm sure their experiences relevant to me.

    Wait so I give a technical anecdote and then a non technical anecdote and now I'm told the non technical one doesn't pertain to your technical application? You doing okay over there?

    It's not a technical anecdote.

    It's just an example of the problem with the technology. Why do you presume that the end result of all of that is anything remotely technical? The end result of all of that is a really complicated and boring subject matter to mostly do with how you build roads, it involves computers but the end result isn't computers.

    Your problem is you have a certain idea of what AI is and what it can be used for and you forget that that doesn't apply to the whole universe.

    I was able to understand some really poorly documented code just today in a few minutes using it instead of hours it would take to dig through it

    This is a technical anecdote. What is wrong with you?
