Some of a bitch!

Just a few days ago, I argued with a douche nozzle who told me, with the confidence of a master debater, that AI has no useful purpose.

But apparently, not all of you feel that way. Linus uses AI and suddenly y’all change your tune! What a load of crap!

I’ve been sitting here saying for years that AI is a tool and should be used as such, while getting called a tech-bro simp for saying it.

Man, this has once again revealed the massive, two-faced, bandwagon nature of Lemmy.

Y’all should have stayed on Reddit!

LLMs are akin to fancy Photoshop filters for code. They can be used well by professionals and terrible by n00bs.

They are but a (very inefficient) tool.

No. That’s… That’s completely wrong.

It is amazing how y’all don’t know how any of this tech works.

Linus Torvalds used it to fix some code but it’s like a Photoshop filter? Come on man… You can’t be that intentionally ignorant.

Go do some research. Jesus.

Look I’m not some kind of supporter or fan boy but even I know how utterly reductive and incorrect what you said is.

You clearly don’t understand what an analogy is.

Maybe if you’d stop using AI for all mental activities you’d fucking understand that
