Jesus Christ, they really wanna force people to use AI.
Just like how when flight was invented people couldn't figure how to utilize it for a long time.
Or how when the cell phone or iphone came around no one could even find a good use case for a few decades.
Oh, people had thousands of uses for them lined up before the tech was even there? Hm. Surely we can brainstorm and force our way out of AI being a waste of money
AI exists to steal what people made and sell it back to people without the skill to use. Not to bring about a moral panic, but people aren't learning how to do those things because "AI can do it" and with that, we end up with people not learning how to do it.
I'm trying to learn to code in python. I'm certainly not a coder by trade, but when I actually write code, I learn more than I do if I read what ChatGPT spits out.
Now if you excuse me, after ages of playing around with Turtle, amma try figure out how to get Python to work with json files so I can use it to make a train departures board for my local station.
