    I just gotta say, this is the widest gaps I’ve ever seen in non-downvoted and downvoted takes ever in Lemmy. Everyone is either nuanced about AI or 100% against it. For better or worse, I think all of us will have to use it one way or another. In cybersecurity, because the attackers use it and gain speed and exponential capability with it, we have no choice but to use it also (at least as a vulnerability scanning tool). I think we’ll all find ourselves in such a situation, where either our competitors or other workers use it and we have to use it as a tool to keep up. The horse has already left the barn on this one.

      Using it sometimes sure. It’s sometimes better than google at giving me answers, and it’s great at troubleshooting dumb mistakes (or processing large amounts of code for things like security issues, but I don’t do that).

      I also have little doubt that ML as a whole will reshape the world much like the WWW did - we do have an awful lot of compute now that could be used for more useful ML applications. But as it’s going, I doubt LLM’s will go much further. More and more people are seeing past the insane promises and realize they’re tools for some specific jobs, particularly once the pricing adjusts the use cases will likely be quite narrow.
