Every time I do use it, it's usually incorrect and just adds time to the task. I nearly always end up having to refer to a physical book or previously written notes to get the answer I need.
I have no ill will towards anybody who does use it nor do I care who uses it – It's their choice if they would rather defer to a machine to make simple decisions.
Please explain why my 82 year-old mother-in-law needs to use AI. Is it just so you won't consider her arrogant?
People who don't get this display a lot of ageism.
*- "Microsoft" telling her her computer's been infected and she needs to call this number asap! Luckily a bank teller stopped her before she completed the transaction.
[1] Assuming that if LLMs were that good, all code would presently be double checked and exploits and back doors will shortly coming to an end - unless the reason it hasn't is a marketing issue.
There are some who exhibit arrogance/aggression and like to virtue signalling to us other mere mortals, which is annoying.
Nonetheless, I preferred life before LLMs. Now I'm making the best of a bad situation, and going with the flow. Too old to fight a losing battle.
But you should never trust it completely. A lot of people have already died because they trusted it with their lives. "Full self driving" isn't.
But even were I not, I would still insist on doing them myself. An abnegation, an abdication of yourself, to do otherwise. A little suicide. If I speak to you yet you act a mere frontend for Claude, what’s the point of you?
But for coding? Sure, if the tool works. But I expect its ideas will never be new.
However, some programmers believe that "AI can't program" with their last time using an LLM was years ago, which is more ignorant of current trends than arrogant.
