Why Normal People Aren’t Using AI Agents

What we want is software that behaves predictably. Since LLMs don’t do that, we don’t want them or their “agents.”

For fuck’s sake.

So you’re decided not to use a useful tool, because you don’t like it. Gotcha.

I once thought the fediverse was full of cool, techsavy people. Turned out it’s full of old people yelling at clouds.

You have your definition of useful, I have mine. Maybe predictability is important to many others, but not to you.

Besides, “not liking it” sounds like a pretty legit reason for not using something, lol. Would you listen to music if you didn’t like it?

Music is NOT a tool.

Its more like not using a screwdriver and using only a hammer. And that would be fine - if you only have nails.

And this argument about different definitions is fundamentally dishonest under a comment that say broadly we don’t like AI. I have my definitions of interesting, useful and fun. But if I would make a post about, I would be torn apart here, lol.

Some tools are useless, period.

I think AI is like being given an automatic screwdriver with the speed maxed to shit. If you pay super close attention, you might be able to do things faster, with hypervigilance and expert knowledge. In most cases, though, you won’t. Congratulations, you have screwed in 100 screws, mostly incorrectly and stripped, when everyone else did 30, and you have fucked over the people who have to fix your shit.
