    Like, no shit the plagiarism machine that cannot create anything truly novel and can only regurgitate other people’s already existing work can’t replace professionals. I legitimately hope all of these companies go under.

      Oh, and now you need a new fucking degree to learn how to ‘optimize your token usage with well crafted prompts the machine can understand’ otherwise you’ll burn through the energy Cleveland uses in a year, and end up costing the company millions.

      Dumbest fucking bubble so far other than tulips and beanie babies

        No it’s dumber. Beanie babies at least left you with a little doll kids could enjoy.

        Two things…

        1. Is…is Cleveland known for high energy usage? I don’t get the reference.

        2. Tulips had a bubble? I’m so confused.

        In some companies, ‘optimize your token usage’ means using as many tokens as possible.

      Thing is, they CAN replace “professionals” — which is 80% of the population. They won’t replace the original thinkers, of which there are relatively few.

      And most original thinkers aren’t feeling threatened by AI, as they can figure out something new to do.

      I mean, I remember college. I remember how many people graduated without an original thought in their heads, focused only on getting the credentials to land their dream job. Those are the people generative AI is coming for.

      Has it made life more difficult? Yes. Is it a magic wand that will make companies rich without human investment? Absolutely not. At the end of the day, it’s just making the baseline of human knowledge accessible to the highest bidders, with a bit of randomness and sycophancy thrown in. Which is a step up from confident BS with a bit of randomness and sycophancy thrown in.
