    Who would have thought that the same, morally bankrupt, unintelligent, Dunning-Kruger addled, narcissistic and sociopathic people who suddenly see a chance to “play with the big boys” just without knowing anything or putting effort into it would resort to something like this?

    Their failure is never their own fault, or their lack of work they put into learning things, always -others- holding them and their -amazing- (read: shitty/crap) ideas back.

    I hate this timeline with a passion. Social media gave all the trolls and village idiots a platform, and now “AI” -seemingly- allows the eternally inept to feel like a programmer or designer or artist, w/o the effort and the results of course.

    Their clueless reactions to the backlash to their slop is evidence enough that the light may be on, but absolutely nobody is home

      While people doing this extortion scheme are self-deluded that their AI slop can be on par with the real deal, the real threats are either market saturation, or people will think your game is a ripoff of that AI slop.

      I was trying to have a coffee yesterday while two guys next to me were having the most mind numbing conversation about AI.

      The worst part is that when they go on about “spinning up agents”, discussing which models are better than others, someone listening in might be tricked into thinking they’re actually intelligent or understand something complicated. It’s already developed a jargon that obfuscates the fact that they’re just typing brain dead prompts into a chatbox and pretending they’re wizards.

      Turns out the guy wanted to give Claude full disk access so it can automatically download/upload videos he’s editing from remote storage. I sincerely hope the fucker loses all his data.

        When ai came out everyone wanted a way to speak to their computer and have it actually do anything you could do or automate it, it literally can with agents and does it well, I ssh into my pc and use it over terminal all the time for stuff that would be a chore to do unless I was sitting at my pc. (You can use any chat really, telegram, discord, etc.) It literally asks before doing anything, you can have it memorize that it should always make backups or work readonly with duplicates, etc. if you’re scared of losing sht, but I’ve had it recover things for me that I’ve lost myself very often, never has it been the reason I lost anything.

        Also solves any issues I have with ram/cpu usage by finding the cause and giving me options to limit them. My lazy ass would never do that before and just restart and uninstall the potential causes of my new performance issues.

          I know that you think you’re selling people on this, but believe me when I say that you’re just making yourself look bad.

          Like have you even tried looking at the process manager?

          No one who has the slightest idea of how to use a computer has ever wanted that.

          That’s an awfully stupid, obnoxious, inefficient, and unreliable way to control an interface.

          Want your computer to do things, read the fucking screen (seriously, 99% of IT is just that, 99% of the remaining 1% is reading the fucking manual, and 99% of what remains is trauma from having encountered some related undocumented issue in the past and having had to solve it by yourself), and click on whatever option does what you want.

          Or use the command line if that’s your thing.

          Want to automate something, use whatever task scheduler your OS comes with. It’s not rocket surgery.

          Want it to do something it doesn’t already do, that’s what programming is for. And 99% of the time someone else has already done it, for free more often than not, so just save yourself time and use their work.

          If you need a slop machine to operate your computer, you are not qualified to operate it (or any other form of machinery; computers are easy, as I said, just read the fucking screen, and the manual for good measure), and shouldn’t be allowed near one lest you become a risk to yourself and others.

          Before I started having it make personal projects for myself I spent maybe 5$ every 3 months on api costs, if that.

        Ive used ai that way with deepseekv4 flash to modify my files for over a year with hermes, work great, enjoy doing sht the tedious mindless way? Made internet archive usable for me, had to rename/reorganize so many loose issues that had different naming structures and file formats.

        Such nice, non-judgmental people on Lemmy… Just not here.

        I hope you lose your ability to communicate.

      Man, at least there is still a backlash at all.

      I love this definition. Spot on. Here’s a real human-generated em dash — for the real homies, as a thanks.
