    It is not just you who think it is stupid as many do, but I think it is more than safe to say that not using an AI agent in the future, while possible, will be like trying to function in our world without a smartphone. Possible of course, but you are at a disadvantage. I personally look forward to my AI agent booking travel and being as thorough and then some as I could ever hope to be. I look forward to an AI agent to live inside my development environment and help me get things done and spend less time trying to fix issues. There are so many things that AI is going to be amazing at, and those who embrace will reap the benefits.

          lol, has that person ever even posted here? (just realized that’s actually hard to tell)

          imagine the headspace it takes to just randomly do a driveby tut-tut because of perceived impropriety just because you yourself have never faced a lick of pushback to bullshit. amazing, 10/10, no notes

            they had exactly one (relatively upvoted) post here in the last 4 months before they decided to use the reports system as… a weird one-way DM? an attempt to get me pulled into an urgent meeting about my attitude (good fucking luck)? like even if they were hoping someone else would read it, the fuck kind of result did they expect from “not very mature tbh”?

            also, a “posts to this instance only” view on profiles is a brilliant feature idea as a moderation tool

              Can I put you aside for an urgent meeting about your attitude?

              It’s great, please continue, you’re doing (acausal robot) god’s work out here.

              I was thinking about that (the view) when I made that comment, and lol at it not existing in mod

              I’m on a coffee run quickly but once I stop, I’ll make a subthread collating the ideas that have been had so far (just to track/centralise for easy view)

      My friend, I think you have it backwards.

      AI use vs genuine human interaction is going to be like getting a machine made t-shirt at Walmart for $5 vs hiring a tailor. AI is going to give you a markedly lower quality job for much cheaper, and that’s going to be its utility.

        Machine made t-shirt, with extra fingers.

        Besides, isn’t most clothes just made by poor people in poor conditions instead of being made with machines? Just like AI.

          Don’t try to misrepresent what I said. Buying a cheap machine made shirt is hardly the equivalent of needing a smart phone to function in society.

      …will be like trying to function in our world without a smartphone.

      As an ADHD and LightPhone enjoyer, It really isn’t that hard. You just have to live life with the forethought that the ancients employed way back in 2004. The gravest problem I’ve faced is that I’ve wasted a shit-ton of potential Jimmy John’s loyalty points on account of not having a QR code reader.

        Sure it is possible, but you are at a disadvantage. If you decide to go eat somewhere, you cannot look into while out. If you are at a store and want to look up an ingredient or a price elsewhere you cannot. If you need navigate to somewhere. There are so many useful things having a smartphone that without is simply a disadvantage.

            True, but the same was said about smartphones, MP3 players, email and so much more. Heck even the Internet was claimed a fad. That said all of the things that really took off, had a pattern. Slow initial development before it really saw big growth. AI is on that exponential trend too, while NFTs trend was down from the get go.

            AI is going to change the world good and bad in a major way and in ways no one can truly predict. AI being is the future as it will be at the root of almost everything… Sort of feels like earth is about to have a digital Cambrian explosion. That is what the data is pointing at least.

              @Immersive_Matthew @pikesley MP3s, email, the internet etc all WORKED from the very first day. They worked exactly as they continue to work now, just a bit more slowly.

              This bullshit “AI” doesn’t work. That’s the difference.

              Imagine someone invented email which sometimes got delivered and sometimes didn’t, and sometimes had the right content and sometimes didn’t and sometimes went to the wrong person even when it had the right address? That’s your metaphor.

                Why do you think AI does not work? I am using it daily to help write code for my top rated VR app. Sure it makes mistakes, but overall it is utterly amazing. I use the paid ChatGPT4 and a Claude.

                  @Immersive_Matthew
                  There are examples in the news literally every day of “AI” making horrible mistakes and creating wildly inaccurate fake information.

                  It’s not “AI” in any real sense.

                  You’re using it to autocomplete code, a task which is highly suited to this kind of “AI” and it’s been trained on billions of lines of code and it still makes lots of mistakes. It’s in no way intelligent, not even 1 per cent of the way to intelligent.

                    We will have to disagree as it does show signs of intelligence here and there way above 1%. It is more than an autocomplete as it can take in and understand complex systems even when I thought it did not. Truly shocking at times. It is on par with image creation in that it can create some stunning images, but it often has a couple issue that you have to smooth over in Photoshop/GIMP. The fact that it can make images at all, including shadows and reflections is truly impressive. I find it extremely valuable and could not imagine being without even with its current limitations that can be worked around. Not for everyone though as it is a little hard to use still.

      That’s not the flex you think it is.
