before i get strawmanned: no i dont think "AI" (by which i mean LLMs like chatgpt) is anywhere close to being as good/useful as writing. Still:
im sick of the exaggeration about this stuff, writing didnt kill thinking, google search didnt kill thinking, and these LLMs wont kill thinking either
realized just now this was posted to c/slop so this isnt directed at you OP
I think the hype is on the down swing. It seems they're gonna try again with newer, more mathematically efficient models or something. Telling ppl not to worry about this shit will always be an uphill battle bc not only are the hype-men, salesmen, and the bougies trying to scare the public & their workers w/ this stuff. Ppl that should really know better have also convinced themselves.
I feel as though the creator of Nodejs (a monumental step forward for Javascript and a technology that helps websites like these run) would be able to think introspectively and accept that intelligence is far more complex than a complex statistical model but I am wrong
Creator of nodejs? Fucking dipshit loser who lowered my quality of life. Lemmy does not use nodejs.
Computer programming is one long struggle session among the nerdiest people you ever know, not this pompous Zionist level delusions of self grandeur.
I'm well aware that lemmy doesn't use node I just said "like these" bc i was targetting my comment towards ppl that aren't software devs.
I think it's uncontroversial, maybe even trite to state that JS tech like node was instrumental in the language's adoption and the explosion of web apps, electron apps, etc.
I'm sorry for being so curt. The bad vibes I got from that article really bled into me.
Web is huge and nodejs was groundbreaking, but I just feel very miffed that the people who were part of the big push to Web as the de-facto development platform whether they intended to or not are now selling themselves as missionaries for silicon valley, this bubbling optimistic enthusiasm feels so off to me.
