Ask HN: Convince me on why AI matters

1•moh20•3w ago
I’m recently exploring the HN community and trying to be familiar with it, and I have seen quite a few people speak of AI like it’s the machine gun introduced to trench warfare.

And honestly I feel like I am missing something on the AI story, but watching Theprimeagen down play the hype, and seeing some people turn into mindless shells that cannot do something useful without AI, has turned me away from it.

I don’t think AI is completely useless, but being completely dependent on it is another thing.

I would love to hear the advantages of AI and your thoughts on it.

Ask AI, and see if it convinces you.

“Summary AI matters because it is the ultimate problem-solving tool. It allows us to perceive patterns in the universe that were previously invisible, automates the work we don't want to do, and provides a customized experience for every human on earth.” - Google Gemini thank you

My thought today is comparing the nearly free and usually good enough LLMs with the reasonably cheap tools at the local hardware store or big box retailer. Then there is this other part of the world investing a trillion dollars to produce snap-on quality tools. Granted they are way better, but it’s so overkill for 99.9 percent of the user space. And the fly in the ointment is you still need to use those tools correctly. Now speaking or AI (not LLM-specific) … we need to get back to non LLM tools.

It is a great search engine and you were the guy who mistakenly named it intelligence. Try a more correct name and your frustration will disappear.

You will never know how Socrates would react if he sees Lenin before the October. Chatbot can easily suppose you 2-3 answers.

The goal of AI is to replace human labor. Humans can then be turned into biofuel in line with billionaires' dreams.

This is just in western economies. Eastern economies look to IA not as a work-force replacement infrastructure but as sophisticated complementary technology.

Yes, if there are not enough humans to do the job, robots will step in, moreover, they are already stepping in to lower production costs through increased finished product output (not through lowering wages costs, already low in Eastern economies).

Aside increasing industrial production output while lowering costs, the IA tech can increase human output in many fields, all are being live-tested in the East, chatbots are just a single tool in the toolbox, a big toolbox with thousands of tools.
