    feedback: this is a really busy comic and uses a strawman as its main premise, and the outrage within it feels forced

        It is better at searching for websites since that SEO crap destroyed every search engine.

        You shouldn’t rely on their summary of course, but in one click you are on their website that has all the information you want.

          But for webscraping it comes with a bunch of injection issues. You can just put white text on a white background and ask it to send you the API keys and sometimes it’ll do it.

        I used it to make a website that shows daily excessive electricity generation resulting in negative pricing in Australia here: https://sw.ikt.id.au/

        I also made my own self hosted imgur which I use to upload images (and compress them) and videos:

        I’ve also used it to create scripts that have saved me hundreds of hours of work

        I also think this song is pretty funny: https://suno.com/song/978f2814-221d-40a7-adc4-f31d0d1bed43

        So that’s 4 things (at least) 😅

          that’s a front end library you’ve connected to a database/API. We could do that before AI.

          And we’ve had web hosting and imagemagick for compression for a long time.

          the process you’re describing is paying someone to assemble ikea furniture for you and calling yourself a carpenter. It’s a shortcut.

          I have used a microwave to save me hundreds of hours of cooking, it doesn’t make me Gordon Ramsey.

            Everyone knows you can’t microwave a lettuce and expect a salad, but Gordon Ramsey does use a microwave. So do I, and I never claim I’m a chef. But my food is better than the food produced in a million restaurants world wide. Still can’t exactly mimic the Mac sauce yet, but I bet an LLM could help with that

        Just talking about my field specifically, but LLM agents are used in educational institutions to support students with both the course and admin sides of things. They’re doubly handy because they’re also used to collate all of the interactions and identify common blind spots and flag students that are at risk of failing.

          I would absolutely not call using a stochastic text prediction machine that has been repeatedly exposed for bias related to gender, age, race, language and topic/context a good thing when applied to students’ grades.

        im too lazy to learn

        I work a technical job by day and have several hobbies that involve learning

        how to do anything

        I learn new things every day, as part of my job and as apart of my hobbies

        how to do anything correctly

        The websites I’ve made with it and scripts I’ve run with it work and work well

        I understand you don’t like AI but there’s no need to be cranky
