"convenience"? You mean CEOs being able to lay off workers with some magical technology that does nothing? Yeah, that's surely convenient for the 0.1% of people in the world that doesn't affect. Love that "convenience" for them.
Did it cup your balls during the last BJ or something? Fucking hell, what is it with randos on the web scaping for AI at every instance...
Friend saw 'convenience' and that was it. No more reading, only fists. I thought I was quite neutral. Yes, convenience. I have been known to use a local LLM based on recipes to give me ideas what I could make based on my pantry.
I have a lovely recipe for absolutely delicious chocolate-chip cookies that use pancake mix.
Are you trying to deny that AI is also convenient for regular people?
Uh, yes. AI cannot and does not have productive output as its goal, technologically speaking. Therefore, any "convenience" is imagined and projected upon an algorithm of statistically most likely text. It's just a statistician strapped in front of the 1 Million Monkeys thought experiment.
It's quintessentially useless, unless your ultimate goal is text resembling language en masse. But usually, Loren Ipsum is much more energy efficient.
But if it saves time on some simple tasks, how can you say it’s not convenient?
there is no task that is meaningful time saved by a kind of context-dependant lorem ipsum. The task is then not done, but simply rejected on its face.
I have no clue what you’re trying to say.
If I ask an AI to write an email and it does so both better and faster than I could, how can you say it’s inconvenient and doesn’t save time?
