I'd argue only at that point can the AI actually be useful to you because you're aware of its inherent limitations and can just use it for the things you know it's good at, which is not that many things actually so yeah you end up using it way less.
yeah plenty of people like their fancy autocomplete
Its not even auto complete. I tried running qwen3:8b param model on ollama and it just felt so tiring having to cajole the program into producing the output I want.
Everything was very underwhelming and could be done better by a 15 year old human personal assistant who actually likes programming.
AI is the supposed bourgeois escape hatch for starving and mistreating workers when the reality of austerity hits them fast and no one is able to work.
It's good at replacing junior engineers across the industry!
When there's a shortage across all sectors in 10 years all these CEOs will wondee why that is, when they've only been hiring people with 10+ years of experience since before OpenAI was a company.
It's also made academia worthless. The junior engineers we do hire are grossly incompetent. Whenever you ask them to research something they'll send you a copy-paste from ChatGPT where they obviously just pasted your question into the prompt. Asking them to edit a report is also just thrown onto an LLM, pasting the output with m-dashes and all.
They can only be blamed for so much though, academia in Amerikkka turned into just an obstacle to enter the workforce (in my opinion, just a barrier of entry to keep poor people poor while the rich can afford to purchase their "qualifications".)
There was a whole scandal at my state college because professors would not fail students, making it functionally a classist pipeline in which having the means to pay for an education is really the only requirement to get a job in STEM. Most of the students don't have an interest in the subjects they're studying, they only do it for the ability to get a cushy job.
