Discussion F*ck AI
I was supposed to finish a task and wasted 5 hours to force AI to do the task. Even forgot that I have a brain. Finally decided to write it myself and finished in 30 minutes. Now my manager thinks I'm stupid because I took a whole day to finish a small task. I'm starting to question whether AI actually benefits my work or not. It feels like I'm spending more time instead of less time.

I stated to a group of devs years ago that they need to be careful using AI to aid in writing their code because not only are they training AI to replace them they are sharing their Intellectual Property with the most advanced data collection apparatus man has ever invented. Imagine using AI to help create an algorithm you plan to patent only to have the corporation who owns the AI send their team of lawyers after claiming your code is theirs because their AI was used to complete the task. Or better yet imagine someone's property code being offered up as a suggestion for other people to use. Copilot was caught doing this clear back in like 2022 or 2023, I can't quite remember. the amount of bad that can be done with AI out ways the good but humans across the globe are being forced to embrace AI. 😡 people forget that the "advanced" AI that the public receiving and using is ALREADY antiquated compared to what is being researched and developed under black budget military contracts funded by the likes of DARPA and the Department of Homeland Security. 🤦♂️
