What is up with the rise of pro AI people on here? I just "talked" to some kind of person in support of it. Are tankies pro AI now?

It's pretty common to be pro-AI or at least neutral about it. Lemmy seems to have an echo chamber of hating it as far as I can tell, so maybe it's just new people coming in?

It's useful. I ain't letting it write software. But I can let it write my stupid report and paperwork while feeding him the important bit. Because I really don't want to bother.
If that report and paperwork is inane, rat race stuff, i won't be as hard. But if that is part of school work, you're mentally cooked then.

Btw, I'd suggest to install deepseek (or any other model) locally so that you don't give your data for free to others (also for security reasons).
Take advantage that it is a free/open software and somewhat easy to install.
Pretty much how I use it. Unimportant waste of time tasks like forms from HR and mandatory "anonymous" surveys. Refuse to do it until told directly and then get AI to write the most inoffensive and meaningless corporate bullshit.
Of course not having to do the task at all would be a more efficient use of my time but we get ignored when we say these forms are pointless. Not heard any one day anything positive about them in over a year.
Name one use.

I just got a high priority request to write a couple of VBA macros to fetch data from a database then use it to make a bunch of API queries. I know VBA about as well as I know Chinese or Icelandic. I figured out the query and told Chat GPT to use it in a macro. It wrote all the VBA code. I went through a few rounds of "fix this bug, add this feature" and now my client is happy and I didn't have to think much about VBA. I knew what and how to ask it for what I wanted and it saved me days of searching google and reading about VBA. That's high value to me because I don't care about VBA and don't really want to know how to use it.

Robot, experience this dramatic irony for me!
If only I’d programmed the robot to be more careful what I wished for!
🥺🥺
Yes, because my wife is Stalin
I want to ask a chatbot for an AI slop picture, then an essay, then to fuck my wife.
I can't draw as good as AI can and I don't care enough to learn.
I can write a lot better though.
I generally use local LLM's and Image generators for role playing though. (Yes that kind)
People are constantly getting upset about new technologies. It's a good thing they're too inept to stop these technologies.
