My boss gave me the greenlight to be an AI hater, but suggested I actually try using it so I can speak from practical, hands-on experience. That makes sense. However, I am truly a hater. I can’t bring myself to do it.

(I also struggle to find a situation where I actually think it could do something valuable. Like do I want it to analyze my code for suggestions or give me snippets? No, and it’s for similar reasons why I don’t want to use it for search. It’s not even about receiving inaccurate information, it’s about receiving regurgitated information removed from its original source and context. The plausible use cases would either involve something trivial like boilerplating which I don’t care about because I can already use templates for that, and something that would delegate discernment which is explicitly what I don’t want it to do for me.)

i dont love it for a lot of things (i HATE chatgpt for writing. It is so bad at writing, it is bad at giving ideas for writing, and everyone uses it and it makes group papers or projects fucking suck)

but it is honestly a fire learning tool like yeah a personalized quiz. Admittedly 5.0 kinda sucks for this more than 4.0 thusfar

I kinda have to shell out for those stupid ass expensive fuckin LSAT study sites because chatgpt is definitely just not smart enough for the LSAT. But it is smart enough for State School College Business Classes (samantha fulnecky moment) so it honestly is great for that purpose alone of helping me study

So like I sort of get using it like flashcards. You still have to be careful because they’re fundamentally just bullshit engines at heart, but they’re free with an interface that’s intuitive to work with. It just lowers the barrier of entry, and makes it appealing. The thing that frustrates me is that I’ve finally become aware of the “use large amounts of capital to disrupt existing markets, become a near monopoly, turn the profit lever” model that these companies are following like many a tech startup before. It’s free but it cannot be free forever. They’re literally spending hundreds of billions of dollars hoping that everyone divests from all other products until they rely on LLMs for basically everything, and then put up the paywall.

(This ultimately cannot work because there’s no technological moat. I would say that each company is hoping to find a breakthrough that isn’t replicable, but deepseek was the most innovative model in terms of actual design and it was open source lol. Anyway, the math isn’t mathing. I don’t see how any of these companies could ever hope to capture enough of the market to justify the capex. I don’t know how they’ll be able to break even at the this rate.)

bold of you to assume it will be profitable (at least in the next like 15 years)

listen i’m with you on why it like sucks but honestly i do think you underestimate the learning potential. I mean it’s somewhere inbetween “glorified flashcards” and “personal tutor” and while its not as good as the latter it’s, like, $150/hour for the latter and 20/month for chatgpt.
