I find it disillusioning to see the casual use of "AI" slowly creeping into our hacker circles. Most of the discussions about AI focus on the quality of its output. I think we're not doing a good job communicating its more fundamental dangers.

In this blog post I write about how tools shape who we are and why the resource intensiveness of AI is ingrained in its purpose. About the devaluation of skills, and power cycles.

Let me know what you think.

@fionafokus When AI was first all the buzz, I downloaded gpt4all, and fed it a *ton* of Sega Dreamcast hacking notes I and others had compiled. Figured I could use it like a quick reference. First day, I tried to ask it some things, and was impressed how it had answers. Then I tried implementing the answers, and quickly realized it was constantly full of shit. Even when trained entirely locally on hyper specific documents, it'll lie and give me crazy bullshit answers. It's useless for this stuff

Every time I break down and use AI to solve some problem I'm flummoxed by, I'm kind of astounded at how useless it is. XD
