Comment on Tech Workers Maxed Out Their A.I. Use. Now They’re Trying to Minimize It.

The one useful feature of AI that I have found is to use it as a dynamic manual.
I ask about specific commands, or how to do something, similar to a normal search engine.
I then test the answer given, and if successful, I implement the knowledge into my code.
Something like this:
How do I make a progress bar with diagonal stripes in HTML/CSS?
I get a generic answer and start experimenting with it.
I could easily skip the AI part and go back to regular searching, it would slow me down, but I would be fine + it would be less wasteful.

It’s honestly amazing if used correctly. Having to remember awk, sed, etc, the exact syntax, idiosyncrasies across OS’s, was always a pain the ass for me. It often makes mistakes, but less than I do trying to customize solutions from the internet. I get a better result much quicker.
My concerns with unsupervised learning statistical models have never been about the tech. It’s always been about capitalism and how the psychopaths in charge would wield it.
