This can’t be AI. AI only creates forgeries of existing art! It’s incapable of creating anything new; I have it on good authority. Plus we’d know if AI had been used because all the water would be gone, the art stolen, and electricity would become unaffordable everywhere.

I’ve never used it and never will.

You can ignore it. It’s just a circle jerk of hate. It would make more sense posted on /fuck_ai but that community leaks on the daily.

Amen!

try talking with an out of work actress about how it’s being utilized, their only answer is to ban it all.

I know, it’s irrational anger and misplaced.

As should we all have had for the past 25 years… keep wishing.

Agreed. And since the alternative is giving up hope,I will indeed keep wishing 🤞

I agree, but that’s a result of fascism, not technology. How it’s being utilized should be the target of ire, not the technology itself. The benefits of AI should be shared by all of society, but instead it’s being used to create even more wealth disparity. That actress should have access to Universal Basic Income and be able to do the work she feels passionate about, no matter what it is. Instead we have oligarchs extracting ever more from a suffering populace.

No. I stopped using Copilot after the price increase. Now I do everything locally using Qwen. There’s a significant decrease in quality, not because Qwen is inherently worse, but because I only have 12GB of VRAM, but at least it’s affordable, and still better than no AI.

It seems I’m the only software engineer on Lemmy who loves having AI. It’s not perfect, but it’s so much better than doing everything from scratch and it’s far more reliable for solving obscure runtime errors than chasing down all the typically dead-end results on a search engine for the stack trace. Or maybe I’m just the only one willing to endure the down votes. Either way, AI has been an exceptional boon in my daily workload.
