The term AI, when used by laymen, is a blanket term for the generative AI and LLMs that big tech is shoving down all our throats right now, not the highly specialized AIs used in medicine. So bringing up the COVID vaccine is largely a non-sequitur.
The rest of your comment is so full of false equivalencies that I’m not even gonna touch it.
Waiting in line to purchase something is entirely different from exiting a plane and I’m disappointed that I have to point that out to you.
The selfish dickheads are the ones who get their panties in a wad when people get off the plane before them
I use that phrase all the time and I’m not a terrible driver. In fact, I rarely drive at all. I work from home and live in a walkable area. So yeah, literally if everyone drove like me, there would be less traffic.
What fucking line? What are you queueing for? Is there a Bruno Mars concert at the other end of the jetway or something?
If I’m ready to get off the plane and there’s room for me to leave me seat, I’m getting off the plane. I’m not waiting to consult with you to make sure it’s “my turn” to enter the fucking airport.
LLMs can’t just run chromium unless they’re tool aware and have an agent running alongside them to facilitate tool use. I highly suspect that AI web crawlers aren’t that sophisticated.
Most of that comment is basic American history chief
Lol no, the most writing I do is comments on Lemmy
One of the first things I did at my first full time job (while my very under prepared boss was looking for “junior-dev-friendly” tasks for me to work) was go to git-scm.com and just read through all the man pages I could. I spent a few days doing that, then my boss asked me to create a PowerPoint and present what I learned to the team. It was instantly apparent that I was the only one who knew anything beyond git commit -a on the team at that point, and I was promptly appointed the “title” of “source control SME”. I’ve been heading up version control best practices for every team I’ve been on since (which is scary because the git cli has changed quite a bit since I read all those man pages but I haven’t had a chance to go back and refresh my knowledge).
I swear, no one reads the username they’re replying to lmao.
I didn’t say any of that. I’m not the one that made the original comment that started this thread, I’m not arguing with any straw men. I’m just some guy several comments deep in the thread that decided to contribute.
No one said AI can do absolutely everything soup to nuts.
Yes they did, there’s an entire “vibe coding” industry based on non-developers using AI to write (shitty) software from start to finish. All kinds of software and tech companies are encouraging more and more AI use because they believe AI can write software from the ground up. This article is a direct response to those people.
You circled all the way back to the original point lol. The whole thrust of this conversation is “AI can be used to automate parts of the work, but you still need knowledgeable people to finish it”. Just like “a concrete 3d printer can be used to automate parts of building a house, but you still need knowledgeable people to finish it.”
A good ol’ Mormon thighsoak then
I think what they’re trying to imply is that Canonical is setting this all up so they can create a (possibly paid) fork of coreutils that spys on its users.
Trying to compare the intelligence of a specialized, single purpose AI to an LLM is asinine, and shows you don’t really know what you’re talking about. Just like how it’s asinine to equate a technology that pervades every facet of our lives, personal and professional, without our consent or control, to cars and guns.
