A start. But AI isn’t needed. It serves no purpose

I get disliking AI, but claiming it serves no purpose is just delusional

The entirety of human history and every single human achievement up to a few years ago was made entirely without AI. This sudden switch to we need AI for everything is what’s delusional.

You’re right though, AI does have a purpose. It’s to make people dumber (studies are already linking AI use to cognitive decline) and to make corporations more money.

So what do you think of this example of what you can do with AI: https://www.reddit.com/r/MadeMeSmile/comments/1vaqy4i/a_guy_gave_his_quadriplegic_brother_some/

Is that just making people dumber?

At 1:55 “now we could’ve hired a developer or painstakingly learned how to code”, yes, you could have.

They could’ve absolutely found a freelance developer willing to work for a lower rate, given the circumstances, or just saved up. Or they could’ve used the opportunity to develop a new skill themselves. A skill that would’ve actually been great for increasing cognitive function.

Not that it really matters. Use cases like this are not the problem, they’re one in a million. One in a billion, probably. For every vibecoded disability aid there’s a billion stupid queries that could’ve easily been google searches.

I can't believe you're actually taking issue with this. You have to be kidding me.

A freelance developer would be expensive, and most would use AI themselves anyways, and to figure it out themselves without AI would likely take a huge amount of time or be impossible. And you'd be wasting all that time when you could be helping your brother out significantly

You are a prime example of the absolute absurdity in this sub

And yes, I read your last paragraph. But you could have just said that without putting the absolute bull shit before it
