I guess nowadays it’s “UNC” huh?

But yeah. Judging by people I know and co workers , no one will be using search in a couple years. Gonna be a bad time.

Also I’m curious how many folks on this instance are even under 35! They may not have ever experienced non corporate internet …

    Just about 29 here! Overall I’d say I hate AI as does everyone around me my age that I know. I do think current iterations of LLMs, specifically for programming cases, are useful but only when restricted to an advisor role rather than writing any code itself.

    If you ask an LLM about how to use a certain library or module and you go and fact check its’ answer then its not really any different than général internet research IMO.

    Ignoring programming though:

    Fuck any type of AI creative media or work. It’s so god damn dystopian to offshore human creativity to fucking computers

    Under 35 club here but pushing 30. Grew up in an odd period I feel like. I feel I grew up when everything was transitioning. I remember VHS as well as seeing smart phones become common.

      Isn’t law something that can be done exclusively by AI? The law is literally a book of rules that are very clear, especially for a computer.

        Oof, I have a feeling American law is a lot less specific and detailed than German law. I may also be completely wrong. You’d think the written law is what it is. I mean, why have laws when they’re not clear?

        Very clear?

        Wisconsin law explicitly allows 16-18 year olds to carry rifles and shotguns, without supervision, so long as they aren’t violating hunting laws. Want to know the easiest way not to violate a hunting law? Don’t hunt! If you aren’t hunting, you aren’t violating a hunting law and can carry a rifle at 16.

        Why does this matter? This is why Kyle Rittenhouse is not in prison for carrying a rifle to a protest. The judge ruled that 17-year-old Rittenhouse could only be charged for carrying that rifle if he were using it to poach game. When he dropped the underage weapon charge, everything else Rittenhouse did in Kenosha became legal.

        Very clear? No. It’s complete horseshit, derived from convoluted legislative revision and does not actually reflect the intent of any of the writers. But it is the law.

        Don’t get me started on presidential term limits or birthright citizenship.

        Every appellate court reversal; every supreme court decision is the direct result of unclear law.

        Application of the law is subjective. A lawyer will know when to argue against a law, argue against the interpretation of a law, and when to argue against the evidence that a law was broken.

        So I don’t think AI is going to replace lawyers, in the same way that AI should never replace a jury of peers, or a judge. However, I do think that AI will (technologically at least) be a great tool to help the common man understand the law and inform them before they get a lawyer involved. It will also be extremely useful for lawyers and paralegals to research previous cases.

    Then they’re using “boomers” wrong. Boomers were born between 1945-1965. Has nothing to do with personality, or tech knowledge.

      …you know language evolves, right? Boomer has been used for slang for old people for at least 10 years now…

        Boomers ARE old people though. The youngest would have been born in 1965. Today they would be 61. 10 years ago they’d be 51.

        So 10 years ago calling someone in their 50s a boomer would still be correct. Today however, that would be GenX.

        Language didn’t evolve, you’re just not keeping up with math. Which I assure you, math never changes. You’re either right, or you’re wrong.

      I lose my mind when people use it to refer to people who are just older or something else. Generational marking is important for understanding why a generation acts a certain way. The events leading to them and during their developmental lives affects so much. A member of the Greatest Generation that lived through the depression and the wars is going to have different views on food and being self sufficient than someone who is Gen X or Millennial.

      Everytime I read ‘boomer’ on social media it reminds me of that old Star Trek episode (Miri, TOS, 1966) where the children refer to the adults as ‘grups’ because they’ve lost the knowledge of the original term ‘grown up’.

        Now see…star trek is so timeless that I can’t tell if you’re a legit boomer, or just watch old tv.

        I mean, I’m only 42, but I grew up with Get Smart, and Gilligans Island. I still say the smartest thing the professor ever did was intentionally not getting off the island.

        Think about it. The Howells were incredibly awful people, but they never dared trying to change the status quo.

        The skipper was out of shape, and always angry, and prone to violence.

        Gilligan was in shape, but mentally something wasn’t right. He often had the maturity of a child.

        So that just left the professor on a desserted island with Ginger and Mary-Anne. On an island where no male was hotter than him, nobody smarter than him. Essentially he’s the most attractive person, and the only real option for two hot women. One of which is a legit movie star.

        He has no debt. He has no bills. He has no responsibilities. On an island where he’s the alpha. All he’s gotta do is convince these dummies that he’s making transistor radios out of bamboo and coconuts. Somehow.

        Why WOULD he want to be rescued? Back home he’s just one professor of many, with no options. Here he has his own hutt, two hotties, and two goons who gather resources for him. He just has to tolerate these two rich fuckwits. And if thats the worst part of your life, then life is going pretty great.

          Nice Gilligan’s Island analysis, now I’m questioning the Professor’s motives.

          I’m an early millennial, too, with boomer parents. Old TV is good IMO (‘and loving it!’).

          I grew up on similar shows. TNG was my first Star Trek. I did eventually watch all of TOS when Hulu first emerged as a free online streaming service. My favorite is City on the Edge of Forever.

    The most AI-pilled people I know tend to be older, honestly.

    Let’s not “blame the kids” for problems they have no responsibility in creating.

    If they’re using AI services and big corporate social media all day, it’s because that’s the world they were sucked into by the Fuckerbergs of the world.

    Rather than just complain about it, let’s do our best to build & encourage tools, services, and marketing campaigns that appeal to Gen Z and help them discover they don’t have to accept the slop being shoved in their face.

    And we can call them dumbfucks, because they never learned how to think.

    Seriously, the stuff schoolteachers are saying about modern AI-dependent kids and teenagers is about as troubling to me as climate change.

    As internet search gets worse and worse (not helped by companies taking normal words as their name) I see my self using AI search more and more. It’s now once a month.

    It comes with an answer, I have to ask for a link, I go to the link, can’t find that answer, have to ask again, etc…

    Simple questions become a total waste of energy and time… and you still don’t get the wiser.

    I should start working AI chatbot brainrot-isms into my common parlance just to try and kill it with cringe.

    somebody states an obvious and passing observation: “Gpt is this true??” They say they want to do something: “Wanting to do something is a bold move. There’s a bit of mystery, a bit of science, and a lot of patience involved! The fact that you’re willing to try it already puts you ahead of most people. Here’s a simple, realistic plan to get you there”

    Think, we could kill it like how we kill every trend or common societal tradition
