@Kommander , if you outlive me, I want my dead-person hologram to tell everyone to wash their ass.

AI in so many areas is a tech solution in search of a problem. The tech is here to stay, but I'm not looking forward to the chaos when the bubble pops given how much money is invested into it right now.

Now that is an area in which I excel. I will be sure to take a big ol' shit at your funeral, right in the punchbowl.

And I'll be sure to wash my ass after.

That's just stupid. It's augmentation for all the services we had, and evolutionary better.

I was listening to a tech podcast the other day, where the hosts are very pro-AI, and in the middle of the show, not only do all of them stop and elucidate reasons that unequivocally show we're in an AI bubble, but they then point out reasons why, when the bubble pops, it'll be worse than other bubbles popping. Then they just go back to saying how wonderful AI is and how they can't wait for it to become meaningfully useful. It's a goddamned cult.

Even just using it to get some Python code to optimise a machine learning model took some doing. If you know enough about coding to specify your requirements properly and spot where it makes mistakes, it IS faster than developing your own code but it needs fact-checking. The reason I used it is I had to get optimisers set up to tune the hyperparameters of about eight different ML models, each of which had umpteen different types of parameters, so to do it myself I'd need to read through all of their documentation.

I wouldn't trust it to write very complex code, though. This was the sort of thing I could have done myself, but researching the settings would have been too time-intensive.
