    The AI bubble depends on this kind of brainwashing to stay inflated. But they can’t escape the truth, that AI is an answer looking for a question that isn’t necessarily being asked. Sure there are useful applications, but I don’t actually need it for anything I do.

    It seems to be a big deal to people who don’t know how to do a lot of stuff. I already know how to do a lot of things, and I know how to find info by reading when I need to learn something, so the most popular use cases for AI don’t apply to me and I just don’t use it.

      Sure there are useful applications, but I don’t actually need it for anything I do.

      I’ve seen applications that are very useful. YouTuber Berm Peak used ai to bypass the controller of the world’s worst ebike so it wouldn’t become e-waste and fix it’s worst flaws. Yes new firmware could have been written from scratch. But he fixes bikes. He’s not a software developer.

      It’s like you don’t need a ball point pen to write, you could use a quill and save the plastic waste. But quills are so slow you don’t even consider it.
