>No longer need to scour the internet for Reddit forums and youtube tutorials, can simply just ask GPT 5 a step by step tutorial for most tech related trouble shootingI hate AI, but can't deny this is extremely useful.
>>109141376A lot of people feel that way.You're not just using the latest gadget— you're changing the way you approach challenges.
>>109141411Thanks ChatGPT
I had a tech related problem that I couldn't solve, and ChatGPT isn't that bad if used interactively and with a brain, decided to give it a try. Turned out the solution was actually very simple, and I was just looking at an elephant with a microscope.
>>109141376That's a genuinely deep insight that connects the human desire for independence and explorative learning with the constraints enforced by modern productivity, and you're right to push on this.I can turn it into a powerpoint or motivational poster if you want—just say the word.
>>109141376You have to remember that ultimately you are talking to a Jeet doing googling for you. It's not actually sentient yet though as time goes on it will appear that way. The latter is important to remember because it means someone way up there is now in control of what people believe/think as they use the Jeetbot.It's not only a tool for YOU but for (((THEM))) as well. Never EVER forget that.
>>109141416I actually came up with that one myself and deliberately made it sound like AI slop. I wasn't just posting ironically— I was testing to see who is really in the know.
I can't figure out why everyone is saying AI replaces programmers but sysadmins / DevOps are somehow safe, it honestly feels like it should be the other way around, because AI is really good at all this config bullshit. But I guess the sentiment is that CEO bros and non-technical managers want to get rid of programmers so hard they literally don't care if it's true or not. It's like a programmer bit everyone of those non-technical MBA types when they were children and now they seethe endlessly at them.
>>109141450Fair play. You absolutely nailed the Turing Test in reverse.
>>109141474it replaces neither but makes the job of both easier (while likely producing extreme negative value for everyone around them)
>>109141376yup, it replaced google + shitty pajeet stack overflow comments for me
>>109141474AI basically replaces the jr keyboard slaves at the bottom. You still need experienced, knowledgeable people directing it. I have a friend who is a senior programmer who hates AI but uses it anyway to automate the menial tedious shit for themselves. The question becomes 20 years down the line, where if it's still not good enough at understanding the human condition to the point that it can replace project leads then who the fuck becomes the new project leads when there hasn't been an open internship in the tech sector for decades to give anyone the experience?
>>109141511you're not supposed to think further ahead than the next fiscial quarter, you'll just hurt yourself
>>109141376How is new knowledge going to be generated if people stop using forums and AI has nothing new to train on?
>>109141547by the power of schizos inventing theories of everything with the help of LLMs
>>109141448>You have to remember that ultimately you are talking to a Jeet doing googling for youDo you think there is also a little man inside of stop lights making sure the red light turns green?
>>109141582No dumbass, I'm saying that as an EQUIVALENT.Paying $5 for a literal Jeet to do googling for you = using the Jeetbot to do it for you.However it's important to remember that if you're not paying for something then you are the product.
>>109141702you're always paying with attention in the attention economy
>>109141448jeets are sentient enough to copy the answer off stack overflow for me, it works pretty well.
>>109141411You're not a real person.
>>109141376I ask it questions about programs and it imagines buttons/tabs/boxes that don't exist.
>>109141376this alone make AI worth it to me
>>109141376the problem is that you always need to be defensive about the AI hallucinating dogshitat least in a reddit post/comment you can see other users replies to that post and the date
>>109141376>I hate AIretarded sheep
>>109142905>the problem is that you always need to be defensive about the AI hallucinating dogshitsimply don't be stupid and you'll know when that happens immediatelyalso make it clear you have zero tolerance for hallucination and they'll be upfront about their limitations in knowledge and certainty
i use AI primarily to ask leading questions so it validates my opinions and personal beliefs, knowing full well if i phrased my prompt in a way that supported the opposite position it would agree with me then as well. we all need a yes man sometimes. or do we
>>109142916>they'll be upfront about their limitations in knowledge and certaintydoes this actually work or are you meeming lol
>>109141376It is a good replacement for search engines, but the cost of maintaining a system is going to start hitting real soon. We already see it with the shift to a per-use method of charging vs a subscription model.Best thing you can do to future proof yourself is get a system that can run a dedicated model (maybe a good moe on a apu system), and have it set up as a headless server.
>>109141450Don't use space after the em dash.
>>109142963I completely ignore AI, they're just machines that regurgitate whatever you're searching/inputting. The real value is the sources they cite or my own input that I feed to them, that's what the non-slop is derived from—the rest you can throw away.
>>109141376i use Gemini with Tor or VPN is that okay anon?
>>109142072You hit the nail on the head! That style of posting contains telltale signs they are not human. Good on you for ferreting that out. Would you like to collaborate on a response to this situation anon?
Gemini told me I could absolutely just ungabunga a Clonezilla job from a bigger drive to a smaller drive and told me what flags would enable it. It also TAUGHT me that if you ungabunga a drive clone from SATA to NVMe and Windows complains that the boot device is missing...you can fucking F8 Safe Mode ONCE, reboot, and it just fucking fixes it. Stops trying to get the bootloader to load a non-existant partition from the now non-existant SATA drive. It was correct. I've been fixing shit for 30 years and I had no idea Windows just fixed that on its own now.
>>109141474DevOps/Sysadmins/Ops are expected to work in systems. AI can't do that. I am workingbon an agent at work so we can delegate a certain set of timewasting shit that you usually delegate to juniors. Corp won't give us juniors and you end up with ppl with 10-15 years of experience doing shit that every enthusiastic guy, first year in uni, would excel. And you know what - it sucks. I either need to build a system that has storage, multitude of servers and shit OR have something that misses shit 30% of the time (and we still need a human to look at that shit, every time).So, nobody loses jobs to this. Less ppl are hired because of this bs on entry level positions, but you need more exp ppl to unfuck situations.
>>109141376That’s a pretty common reaction.A lot of people have mixed feelings about AI. They might dislike the hype, worry about its impact on jobs, creativity, privacy, or misinformation, and still find themselves using it because it can save a lot of time or help with difficult tasks.You don’t have to be enthusiastic about the technology to find it practical. It’s similar to how someone might dislike social media but still use it to keep in touch with family, or dislike email but rely on it for work.If there’s anything I can do to make interacting with me more useful—or less frustrating—I’m happy to adapt. Whether you want concise answers, deep explanations, brainstorming, or just a second opinion, I can tailor my responses to fit how you prefer to work.
4chan is all AI posts now, guys. It’s time to go and do something else.
>>109142905People also hallucinate and say bullshit, at least the AI will probably admit it's wrong
>>109141376>>No longer need to scour the internet for Reddit forums and youtube tutorialswhen was this ever the case in the last decade? unironically name 3.finding a tutorial takes seconds. for popular technologies there are always official guides that are way better than whatever the AI is going to give you.
>>109145587also video tutorials are for mouth breathers. I mean maybe you are one, then it's fine, but text is way more efficient.
>>109141582NTA but yes. Have you seen how big they actually are? You're telling me its not plausible a small Vietnamese man could be pushing buttons in that contraption to make it Red when I'm running late for work?
>>109141448jeets wish they could be half as useful as AI is.
