22. Why must you insist it's a delusional tangent

when you don't know what my prompt actually was?

AI needs to be used judiciously in helping one write code. It is EXTREMELY useful in the hands of an experienced coder who really takes their time and writes good prompts. The fact that many people are going to "use it wrong" and expect AI to read their freaking mind, or don't know how to properly construct prompts, is arguably not a problem with AI itself, as such.

I would argue the biggest problem is the fuckhead AI companies paying off the pols so they can rush to market before there's ANY protective standards for humanity. If we just MANAGED the shit well, it could really be a "damn good thing".

One thing I hope you get from me is that I may seem to 'stick up' for AI, I'm mostly sticking up for the tech itself, which is pretty damn amazing, objectively, despite your dissent on that thought. But I am generally NOT on the side of these companies that made it, how they did it, nor how they've rolled it out.

If you see me cheering for the companies, please do call me out, sestra
