This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

AI will not replace humans, it'll just make the existing humans more efficient.

This must be a form of AI that hasn't been invented yet. I've yet to meet a useful implementation.

As a software developer, AI has made me ten times more efficient. Before AI I used to produce 2-5 new bugs per day of work...

I suppose it could be useful if you have the sort of boss that thinks productivity is based on the number of lines of code you write.

I will never understand programmers claiming that AI makes them more efficient. As if Emmett and snippets hasn't already existed for a decade or so

It makes non-programmers more efficient. If you reach the limits of what text editors or Excel can do natively with REGEX and have to write scripts for data formatting, AI is a godsend. Takes 10 Minutes to generate a small script, glance over it to make sure it's ok, test it and start batch formating files rather than spend hours doing it by hand.

Because regular people are out there batch formatting files all day ..
