A specific example from me would be implementing LLM AI into my code (genetically) and without more details than that I’ll get people demanding that I don’t do that and giving suggestions for what I should do.

Suggestions are cool, but I’m gonna ask why I should not put LLM in my code in a generic sense just to have my question ignored or have lies and insults hurled my way

It’s cool if you want to answer that question, I’m just curious about other people’s similar story about receiving resistance to follow up questions if you just have to say those people aren’t worth it or you feel like you missed something you shouldn’t have in those situations.

    When tech changes quickly, some people always resist exponentially in the opposite vector. The bigger and more sudden the disruption, the bigger the push back.

    If you read some of Karl Marx stuff, it was the fear of the machines. Humans always make up a mythos of divine origin. Even atheists of the present are doing it. Almost all of the stories about AI are much the same stories of god machines that Marx was fearful of. There are many reasons why. Lemmy has several squeaky wheel users on this front. It is not a very good platform for sharing stuff about AI unfortunately.

    There are many reasons why AI is not a super effective solution and overused in many applications. Exploring uses and applications is the smart thing to be doing in the present. I play with it daily, but I will gatekeep over the use of any cloud based service. The information that can be gleaned from any interaction with an AI prompt is exponentially greater than any datamining stalkerware that existed prior. The real depth of this privacy evasive potential is only possible with a large number of individual interactions. So I expect all applications to interact with my self hosted OpenAI compatible server.

    The real frontier is in agentic workflows and developing effective niche focused momentum. Any addition of AI into general use type stuff is massively over used.

    Also people tend to make assumptions about code as if all devs are equal or capable. In some sense I am a dev, but not really. I’m more of a script kiddie that dabbles in assembly at times. I use AI more like stack exchange to good effect.

      yeah i see that marx said

      [doing away] with all repose, all fixity and all security as far as the worker’s life-situation is concerned; how it constantly threatens, by taking away the instruments of labour, to snatch from his hands the means of subsistence, and, by suppressing his specialised function, to make him superfluous

      but that’s marx just saying industrialization is threating working class. im not seeing much myth just boring explanations of workers relation to machinery

      I do use perplexity and chatgpt to code a lot. i really rather not go to stack overflow and try to understand three posts and figure out an implementation. I’m fine with that being automated
