Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

10 years ago I would have been the one who wanted AI. I love Sci fi and futuristic things. But seeing how it's abused and the devastation it is doing to the planet? No.

And it's just not reliable unless I am desperate when it comes to helping my kiddo with math.

I imagine that this might be the kind of thing someone would talk about in couples therapy.

My wife uses Chat gpt constantly. She said it as a joke but she knows how I feel about AI. I detest it, refuse to use it, and am teaching my 10 year old to do things without.
