  Having just finished getting an entire front end for my website, I disagree. A few years ago I would offshore this job to some third-world country devs. Now, AI can do the same thing, for cents, without having to wait for a few days for the initial results and another day or two for each revision needed

    The fact you see nothing wrong with anything you said really speaks volumes to the inhumanity inherent with using “AI”.

      Please enlighten me. I am working on systems solving real-world issues, and now I can ship my solutions faster, with lower costs. Sounds like a win-win for everyone involved except for the offshore employees that have to look for new gigs now

        I don’t know if it’s your fault honestly. It’s the system that makes you want to offshore your work to developing countries and not hire local employees. I get it. It’s cheaper. But when even independent developers start doing this we have reached post-late stage capitalism at this point

        you missed the plot a little.

        it’s not that it doesn’t have use cases. It burning the world down with it.

        how much more water went down the drain cooling the requests you made? how about the electricity not going to local consumers but AI data centers.

        all the computer components shortages…

        that’s still before the fact you admitted you would have hired a human, and given them food on the table instead of a corporate giant to buy another mega yacht.

        Looks like others have come along and made my point for me while I slept. Except for calling out the dehumanizing language against the developers. They missed that one.

  Do local LLMs really consume much more than a task like, playing a video game?
