Comment on Microsoft’s $440 billion wipeout, and investors angry about OpenAI’s debt, explained
Nikelui@lemmy.world 11 hours agoThey presented to you a reasonable use case (assisted learning) and your response was “lol, you’re just lazy. Do it on your own”.
I am in a similar position, networking is Martian to me and if I search guides on how to do stuff, it’s full of people that go “just use X to do a reverse proxy”, as if I have 200h of experience under my belt. I’d rather have a chatbot explain to me like I am 5 in some cases.
I don’t consider myself a “proponent” of ai and I think it gives dependent and lazy people brain damage lol
But these people seem like complete contrarian Luddites who just want to insist it’s bad because they don’t like it and have seen too many negative memes about it
“I think AI is bad but other people who say so are weird”
mmk
I can appreciate what is good and bad about it yes
Many people seem to only think it’s bad and they are simply wrong
I can only imagine you’re the later if you can’t grasp this nuance

You are being lazy. If “I have to learn how to do this” is too high of a bar to clear for you then maybe you’re just not supposed to do that thing. Setting up a self hosted environment is pointless if you don’t know at the least the basics about how it works. It will break sooner or later and if you just typed whatever random characters your computer told you then you’ll never be able to fix it. You won’t even be able to describe to ChatGPT what the problem is.
AI is making learning harder, not easier. It’s flooding the internet with bullshit and you’re acting like that’s a good thing. When you’re learning something new you need to know that your teacher knows what they’re doing. An AI summary might be pulled from a network engineers blog or it might be the sanitized ramblings of a schizophrenic pedophile who tries to host CSM on his smart toaster. As a beginner, you can’t tell the difference, especially when an AI rewrites the crazy and presents it in an authoritative manner.
Yes, learning new things can be hard but the internet is already the shortcut. Quit trying to outsource even more of it.
