I doubt anyone here hates AI other than for the big companies pushing it constantly. ML and language models have been a thing since the last decade but we only hate them now cause of how desperate the corpos are about it and oh the data scraping too but that’s expected.
For me it helped with:
- Fixing electron apps not launching in wayland
- Fixed my ignis shell code(ricing, these shells keep changing and it’s a burden maintaining them)
- automating my system with a few systemd timers.
Albeit I could do these myself by looking at docs but it’s not worth the time. Now it just works instead of “maintaining my arch setup”.
I completely agree. In the current context it’s important to note that I have a cs degree and you too probably and way better than me. But some people don’t know how to use computers and that’s fine. They just like to surf or play games. I think when you are troubleshooting your pc, it’s fine. That’s my position.
What you are saying I think is completely different discussion. I know people that you are referring to and you cannot change them. Some people love ignorance but yeah I agree it’s impacting a lot of people but I don’t think it’s a ai issue, it’s a people issue.
