Your conclusion is objectively false, no matter what your feelings say. An LLM is a word frequency prediction calculator. That’s all. It doesn’t “understand” anything.
Do you have success with AI doing actual real work? Every time I try the output is pure shit. Maybe it's me, and I'm not good at prompting it, but the best thing I've been able to do is help refine a block of text that I already wrote to sound slightly better.
For doing non work or fluff (See Elon prompting Grok for cats riding a bicycle) it does some pretty impressive things.
Overall I feel like AI is being pushed (shoved down my throat) rather than me pulling and finding it useful. Was thinking of making a post about this to see if others feel similarly.
I can see it reasonably making 99% of jobs redundant. But I think you nailed it, creatives who know how to use AI will see incredibly accelerated workflows with minimal overhead. It's people like writing editors and generic code monkeys or data-handlers who will become obsolete.
Yes. I have successfully had it write small utility scripts in python, php, auto hot key, and ffmpeg. I have also used it to debug other people's python, which saved a lot of headache because I'm not really familiar with python.
In the last windows update, the samba share from my linux server was no longer accessible in windows. I did my usual, searching stack overflow and reddit posts, couldn't find anything. Eventually just asked chat gpt and had it fixed in minutes. It understood the problem, it knew the samba config format, it knew windows command line shit to test it, it answered my questions, it commiserated with me about how bullshit microsoft is. We're cooked man. This isn't going away.
The only way someone could cope this hard is if they haven't used any AI for the last 3 years.
Translation: “I believe anything the media tells me simply because they told me so.”
Your next line is “I will campaign for human rights for algorithms within the next five years.”
I reached my conclusion by going to the website and using the product myself. It's free. It clearly understands things and can produce useful results.

What is your criteria for true "understanding"?
