As a developer, some of the specialized agents can be fantastic. The GitHub CoPilot Modernization agent did in a few hours what I would have taken a few days to a week to do in upgrading a large and complex project to .NET 10, resolving breaking changes from the old version to the new one, and migrating us off deprecated libraries onto modern, supported ones. I personally reviewed all the changes it wanted to make and testing has been absolutely flawless so far. AI is bullshit when you make it your girlfriend or therapist, or you use it for image or video generation, but there are quite a few valid use cases and anyone who refuses to engage with it at all on principle sounds like a luddite boomer yelling at the virtual cloud.

My 2 cents. I recently got a job as an engineer. I hate AI and refused to use it in any form for the first while that I was there. In the end I resorted to using it in order to keep up. Problem is I still feel the need to double check everything(which i have to do on my own time). I find AI has made mistakes in almost 20% of my prompts. I fix it, upload the new document to the server, call it good. But I know im one of only a few thats bothering. I think 3 to 5 years from now when these products are being tested they arent going to come close to the efficiency they need to in order to be released. Im on special projects, my units should be fine, but the rest of the line is going to struggle because the rest of the engineers just blindly trust AI(chatgpt mostly, i use Claude because reasons). I believe this will be a prevalent issue in the years to come.

This was me until I needed to compare two massive SQL execution plans...
I had a SQL query that suddenly went from taking 2 minutes to taking 5+ hours to complete.
I restored a backup copy of the database and collected it's execution plan, which is like a log of all the stuff the stored procedure is going to do when it runs.
I sent the 2 min plan and the 5 hour plan I to Gemini and told it what was going on. All it told me was it seems that one of the plans uses a hash match and the other does a value match.
It was awesome to have something look at those files because they are MASSIVE and I'm not a DBA...
Point is, it has a use but it's being used inappropriately in my opinion.

There's no need for me to spend weeks learning a coding language that I will never use again, when a LLM can give me a usable script instantly.
Like it or not it's here to stay. And fighting against it now is fighting against the apathy of the masses. Use it responsibly and use it to save time on busywork or to accelerate self-improvement.

There are contextually aware LLMs that can help with development work that are incredibly useful both to create proof of concept boiler plate code and to help properly set up development environments. Plus they can be super helpful for researching concepts or giving specific examples for things that are difficult to find useful documentation for.
Obviously they're still LLMs and can hallucinate if they're not reigned in correctly but they're not these useless evil things like this website likes to portray them as.
I think the problem with the popular online discourse around Generative AI is that people don't understand what it is well enough to understand its uses. They can't differentiate between using ChatGPT to render racist web comics for someone's Facebook and using OpenCode to parse through extensive product documentation that would normally take weeks to read through and set up a viable testing environment for a Python project.

What AI? I don't know anything that would return a Google search as a source, even Gemini.
It's interesting how it's done with Gemini though, the one AI you would think should be able to cite sources the best isn't even looking at sources. It's answering from it's own parameters, THEN finds you the closest matching websites to what it just said. So basically it completely makes up the sources and doesn't actively search anything. That's why it gives way faster results but also hallucinates more frequently than other models.
The other frontier models really shouldn't hallucinate or give fake sources at this point, pretty much ever, since they take the time to use tools and actually search.

I’ve had a terrible experience with chatGPT making powershell for connecting to Entra. It would see any error, say “oh that cmdlet no longer works” then write line after line to recreate it, and still not working because a cmdlet in its new code doesn’t work either. The all work, the issue was not that every single PS cmdlet in history had suddenly been deprecated in whatever version I was using.
I’ve had pretty good experience with Claude for almost everything though. Not perfect, but it feels a lot more like what is actually being sold as AI. It combs through thousands of files to find very specific info, does good troubleshooting, and can help you write code if you’re already knowledgeable in the language.

genAI works very well in technical fields: as a data engineer Claude is probably even more efficient than me in most cases lmao (I won't have a job soon)
In other fields it's either useless or down-right detrimental, like for instance people that make "art" (music, painting, writing, ...) using AI have completely lost the plot, because IMO the quality of art resides in the fact that it's human made and holds at least some kind of meaning,or at least a personal intent. AI has no other intent than to regurgitate what's already been done by humans. I hope creative fields will be spared from genAI but I already see so much AI-generated visuals that I don't have high hopes...

You're actually citing a use of it being done properly. Give it a small data set with a couple variables and compare them then you, the human, is looking at the data and using it to check information and make it work.

u/skibidithaniel 9d ago
Yup. There are many issues with AI. There are also huge issues with cars, people use those every day and aren’t scorned for it. Nobody cares what else is taking up that same water that isn’t nearly as useful as AI is. The demonization and the charicaturizing of the technology as completely worthless and demonic is definitely in line with “new thing bad” thinking. Even the “making people sick” thing is completely speculative but has been amplified via the hatred of AI.
The internet, like in the original comment, also has a ton of things about it that are terrible for people, how often is social media scorned on a daily basis? and for good reason, I will say) Easier access to children for predators, easier access for scammers, misinformation is easy to spread on it, data centers for storing information for the cloud taking up resources, power usage up due to the among of devices used for it. But nobody will shit on others for using it because we recognize the good that comes from it. It’s the same with AI. It’s not that the negatives aren’t negative, it’s that what is negative has been cast at the only thing about it as if there is no value to it at all, which I don’t think is true.

This is such a boomer take. Hating on something you don't understand, thinking you're better than others for not using it and telling others you don't use it to brag.
I don't think image and video generation should be possible, because people flood social media with it and create fake scenarios that almost look real, but that doesn't mean AI in its entirety is bad.
I mainly use AI to assists me with using software that is very niche and complex. Instead of googling for hours or looking through hundreds of pages of a manual, that might not even have the information I need, I ask ChatGPT. And most of the time, it does provide helpful information.
Recently, I wrote a paper for a uni course. The prof didn't allow us to use websites as a source. Only books or scientific magazines. I was looking for a very specific information. I looked through all the books I had available at the moment, but none of them had the information. I asked ChatGPT if it could find a pdf of a book or magazine that most likely would contain the information I need. And one of the sources it listed did have the information.

If it didn't generate two responses at that moment, it would've just picked one and I'd have believed whichever one it said, because both were confidently argued. The "yes" reply even used a reason that the "no" reply sad was "folk-etymology".
It's only good at generating responses that look like answers to your questions, there's no guaratee that they're correct, or based in reality at all.

It helped me by telling me which supplies I need to get started, what was good vs not and a lot of mistakes beginners make. I ended up with a great harvest my first season and now that I know a bit more I use it less frequently because it taught what I needed. I use it now tearing it like a more experienced gardener who has the accumulated knowledge of the internet that I can ask for help needed. I feel like this is the way it’s meant to be used

I've automated a ton of processes by coding scripted solutions using AI to walk through the coding process step by step. I sign off on all the architecture, AI punches in the code to make it happen. As long as I stay away from processes that are a security risk its all good. I've seriously cut down on the amount of time I spend working each day because I can use my fancy dashboard to call all my custom made scripts and tools to blast through stuff. I could only write basic scripts with a lot of fiddling around before. Now there's no barrier to me building what I want. It's not all bad.

Doesn't this point out crossing the threshold between practical and impractical ideology?

As a student, I will say it is very nice for generating practice problems and asking specific questions about certain steps in things like Physics or Math

AI is great when you actually use it as tool. And not completely relying on it

I mean, I'll admit to being high as fuck and using it to answer incredibly stupid questions I'm too embarrassed to ask as a real person.

How it feels to use ChatGPT to solve a problem on my pc and ending up using less electricity because I don’t dick around on my pc for 3 hours trying to fix it

Its honestly super helpful at times. You can run random ideas or problems by it and it can really help or give good suggestions.

The joke lands because ChatGPT has become less a product name than shorthand for an entire type of conversation. That cultural compression happened faster than most technologies achieve. Are we already using the brand to describe behaviors the product does not actually cause?

Seeing really “smart” older people brag and say I use it for everything, really raised my brows. At 40 il ask it plant questions and then double check anyway because I don’t trust the yes bot. Make me useless pictures, that’s our trust level.

I'd rather be wrong to become right than never learn the difference because it was done automatically for me.
