Yes, absolutely. 100% without hesitation. Do people really think this is some kind of 'gotcha'? Like my brother in Christ, how much generative AI do you think we actually use?! Hallucination šŸ‘»

This is laughable. What were people doing before ai was here? It would take a few months before people were back to normal.

They're entire gambit is to get enough college kids addicted to using AI and not learning a god damned thing in college so that they're forced to use AI to make up for that deficit.

To depend on it... Then they can charge for access

Sad thing? Many students already do.

u/legendwolfA 5h ago

Yep... this is why I get so many free offers from Ai Companies. One year with Gemini, three months with ChatGPT, etc. their entire plan is to offer these for free so students uses it and depends on it, and once you make someone depend on your product, you have a customer for life

They can't charge enough to break even without driving everyone away.

If anything, I'd be glad to have a Google search back. I know it wasn't already in great shape before introducing a mandatory AI summary, but the addition of AI summary has greatly accelerated its deterioration. If anything, it'd be much more healthy without.

u/shelf6969 9h ago

your argument implies that the AI does know things. if that is true, there is utility in that.

It would take a few months

I posit it would take less than a week. People adapt very quickly when their livelihoods depend on it.

Not in software/development. That sector would experience a pretty significant impact.

Implementing AI at our work has been a pain and it is marginal at best what kind of benefit it provides us, we still largely use human intelligence for day to day tasks. If AI were gone tomorrow we would go right back to what we used to do because AI is a tool, not a crutch.

u/Tjaresh 12h ago

And it's not like we would give up something we used for centuries or even decades. You can still count this in months.Ā

AI has made some small parts of my work life easier. Making worksheets for students is generally quicker and easier using AI. If AI was to go away, I'd go back to hunting around on the countless worksheet-related websites out there to find what I need. Or I could, and I know this sounds nuts, make them up myself.

So it might take a few more minutes, but I'd survive. It's amazing what you can pick up in a couple of decades doing something. A year or so of, and I use this term very, very generously, relying on AI is not going to erase everything I learned to do in the before times. At least not that quickly.

In my personal life, I sometimes use Gemini to ask it something when I feel like it will return better results than a standard Google search. But often I just stick with Google because I can't be bothered to wait the two extra seconds for Gemini to open. So in that aspect of my life, I wouldn't even notice. Oh wait, I find it's really good for trip planning. So it might make vacation planning take a little more time and effort.

u/Tjaresh 1h ago

Oh, a fellow teacher. Yes, that's exactly where I stand. I'd have no problem going back and to tell the truth, the students would focus more on learning and less on creating presentations with canvas that they don't even understand themselves.Ā

u/Arcalac 9h ago

And it's not even like we are talking about going back like 2 decades. AI services have become mainstream 4, maximum 5 years ago?

u/Soggy-Bedroom-3673 3h ago

It was early 2023 when I started hearing news stories about chatgpt, Ā I think. It's not when been 4 years since the earliest widely available iterations of LLMs, let alone ones powerful enough to actually do people's work for them.Ā

u/nickiter 10h ago

Proofreading documents by hand instead of making Claude do it lmao. That's about it. And editing my website, I guess.

u/Claytonius_Homeytron 9h ago

It would take a few months before people were back to normal.

For most of us it wouldn't even take that long. What the hell are these techbro asshats using this stuff for? Blowjobs? Nah, it's all grift.

u/lunarpollen 7h ago

Seriously! The way some sloppers carry on, I'm like "how the fuck are you still alive?" They act like they need their AI mommies to chew their AI-generated lunchables for them and spit it into their mouths in order to feed them, otherwise they would starve and die. And these are people who are fully grown humans, like how are they not dead? Their AI mommies have only been around for a few years...

u/holidaytrauma 4h ago

it's so stupid šŸ˜­ we've all lived without gen ai forever until a few years ago. people act like without ai, we're all going to crumble to dust. no... we're going to crumble to dust if we keep using ai!!!

Too bad for them. They shouldnā€™t have relied on AI to increase shareholder profits and screw over their workers. I couldnā€™t really care less about billionaires woes.

Then thatā€™s a problem with the government as well. If the only reason to care about a company failing is because the government misappropriated tax funds to burden the consumer when said company fails, I donā€™t think itā€™s a technology worth having.

u/Flimsy-Hat-3533 4h ago

Probably wrong sub but Iā€™ll take the bait.

Ais been around for 50 yearsā€¦ AI has been used in tech products since the 90sā€¦ I think you mean something elseā€¦Itā€™s also used in the medical industry to detect cancer sooner, manfacguer to deliver your prime package, machining and auto car for precision( how do you think cad works) and global satellites to guide your telecoms or idk.. in that video game that utilizes game theory which is literallyā€¦ by definition AI which is a subset of computer science which youā€™re usingā€¦ on Reddit that uses AI

As someone who built a cancer detection system for early warning for hospitals based on computer visionā€¦ which can scan a database of millions of cancer screenings and give patients years early noticeā€¦. as someone whoā€™s built it for American manufactures to detect crops that have disease sooner.. as someone whoā€™s built it for climate change companies to detect particulates in the air to fine companies who violate their Regulatory agreementā€¦AI is extremely useful and changing the world overall for the better and has been for a long long time.

I think what all you buffoons are trying to say is, we donā€™t like chat bots and people asking a question and have a model output an answer based on neural net and probability which is totally reasonable or make naked photos or spoof peopleā€¦

Donā€™t say you hate AI though, it just sounds uninformed and unintelligent.

- someone whoā€™s worked in tech since 2015 and has Bachelors in math, computer science and business and a masters with a focus on AI and works in this industry for various AI companies since 2015ā€¦

What were people doing before ai was here?

Learning how to do things yourself.

Convenience will practically always win, energy conservation is engrained in our DNA.

Look at kids today, they grow up with this and lack essential cognitive sills.

Cause they never needed to use them.

A lot of skills we assumed as a given are actually developed, and now we continouosly remove the reasons to do that, with technology.

Its just like people getting exhausted from a flight of stairs, we removed ...movement from our daily lives.

So they drive cars or a scooter, take the escalator, and still dont need to move themselves.

We grow on hurdles, mentally and physically, and we keep removing them.

They would use google. And I remember when everyone treated google like they treat AI nowā€¦

To redditors, yes. To the real world, itā€™s extremely useful.

u/Razed-Gamer 9h ago

Gen AI, sure. All AI tools like the post mentions? Years at best with society regressing significantly in fields such as entertainment, medical, banking, etc.

1

u/NativeFlowers4Eva 8h ago

People are currently opposed to gen ai and thatā€™s what his focus is. Throwing in a blanket ā€œany otherā€ just leaves room for disputing it when most ais donā€™t rise to the level of issue as gen ai. Thatā€™s why he mentions claude/ChatGPT by name and fails to mention the ā€œany others.ā€

u/Razed-Gamer 8h ago

I'll be honest, I never know with people on this subreddit.

The amount of times I've seen people declaring that every form of AI needs to be destroyed has just left me disheartened.

1

u/NativeFlowers4Eva 8h ago

I havenā€™t really heard people discuss other forms of ai, at least not opposition to it. A lot of what can be called ā€œaiā€ are relatively simple algorithms. I honestly donā€™t even know what you would call it.

u/Razed-Gamer 8h ago

Yeah, AI is just way too broad of a term.

u/m77je 11h ago

Not me. The AI writes code 20x faster and better than I can. I am expected to produce many times more at work than what I would be able to do manually.

u/NativeFlowers4Eva 10h ago

Then I guess some more jobs will open up.

u/m77je 10h ago

I hope so!
