I guess nobody did any work a few years back when AI wasn't being shoved down our throats. Also imagine being a carpenter or an electrician and being asked if you can get through your entire workday without AI. That guy is such an idiot is makes my head hurt.

I don't think I've ever seen a more horrifying example of projection in my life 💀

He can't go through his day without AI because he's made himself dependent on it instead of doing anything for himself, and he genuinely thinks that everyone else is the same way.

I work as a software engineer and I don't use any of those things.... so yea... if I can do it, most people, the overwhelming majority of people can do it.

I use Claude Code daily at work and yes, I am VERY willing to give it up if this LLM and generative bubble completely blew up tomorrow. I'd be more than happy to see it disappear.

this dude is literally this meme:

To this guy who very likely will never see this comment:

I get through my day without using an LLM quite nicely. In fact, I don't use ChatGPT or any other form of generative garbage at all. Ever.

Don’t threaten me with a good time.

Get through a work day without it? Yes. BECAUSE THEN I'D ACTUALLY HAVE A FUCKING JOB.

...sorry for screaming.

Can't believe they made talking to your computer like they do in Tron lame as fuck in real life

I've only actually used AI like 10 times I don't think it was actually particularly helpful in even half of those. It mostly just gave me wrong information it made up and I then had to go back and find the correct answers myself.

Another senior software dev here with nearly 20 years experience. I have never needed or used these tools. Cuz fuckem, that's why.

Have literally caught AI getting Holocaust facts wrong on repeated occasions. Anyone taking it seriously is full of misinformation at this point.

I suppose they just can't imagine that there are people who don't use it.

They must think that everyone is addicted to it as they are.

Oh no, to go back to the prehistoric time of 2021...

Analogy is a little weak, because so much of modern AI has been shoehorned in after obliterating the more traditional routes for internet information lookups.

If the traditional search engines have had their results irrepairably ruined by SEO and advertising? If you're locked out of Wikipedia, because it's been blacklisted for Wokeness? If StackExchange and Reddit have gone to shit because of all the spam? If you can't use Discord from your company/school intranet? If your coworkers are all new hires, because your boss fired all the old-heads for demanding real living wages, and now you're surrounded by a bunch of college grads with no experience in the company systems?

Then yeah, I guess AI is what you're left with.

Been getting along just fine without thank you very much.

Is that a trick question? Only imposters and truly inept people cannot live without AI support. The rest of us use their knowledge and experience to do our work, like we did in the years before this "Gift for the terminally inept" came about.

I love shit like this.

Like. I work for a landscaping company. There is zero application of AI/LLMs/whatever to any aspect of my work. None of that shit is going to help me move piles of dirt, or plant saplings.

I don't even use any of that for work now so...

"If AI was banned right now, would you be able to go on without it?"

Yes. I do this everyday.

Wild fucking take

This is partly what's been said in this thread (from my skimming of the top 10 comments) but also because a lot of people are so fucking dumb that AI has been like Neo in the Matrix for them. They are so dumb that using basic words to search and filtering through the results seems like black magic. Now they feel empowered and smart. It's extremely fucking scary.

I only read the top 10 comments because I have taken my sleep medication and it's starting to win the fight ATM. Just needed to get this out before it was too late.
