    people who don’t care to do those things are using ai for them, leaving the people who do care, and usually spent a large part of their life learning how to do those things well, with nothing to do.

    incidentally, learning how to do something properly makes it easier to see how bad ai is at that thing.

      You aren’t using the dockworker’s services either. Work changes in time. There are still people who sew by hand too, but you can also buy affordable clothes if you are poor.

        i do though. i order packages and the dockworkers take them off of the ship and load them onto local transport. i take a ferry and the dockworkers make sure the ship is securely tied off before i dinembark.

          In the time before containerization a lot of people used to be dock workers. Today virtually noone is a dockworker anymore. That’s what I was referring to.

          That’s a large part of how the world became as connected as it is today.

            yeah but automating jobs with a high risk of injury and guaranteed fatigue damage is one thing. nobody was ever a dockworker as a hobby.

      Remember, if you copy and paste from stack, you’re a bad developer.

      Too many developers think they code better than they do.

        1. The code from stack is (or was) written by a person who has some interest in solving the problem in a good way.

        2. You should not be blindly copying things from stack.

        3. I actually can’t remember the last time I’ve even done this.

      How many are actually going to do repetitive, menial coding work so that some people who enjoy that for whatever reason would have “something to do”?

      Sounds like a big ask. Besides, if you enjoy coding that, I don’t think anyone is preventing you from doing that. Unless it is work, as said. Then you have to do whatever they tell you to. In that case there’s no decision to use or not to use it either way.

        i was more thinking about art or writing, but if you’re doing repetitive menial coding work then there have been tools to replace that for like 50 years.

                nope, that’s pretty obvious. it’s easier to visualise with local models that make the apartment heat up a few degrees.

                  Is it really that intensive with coding? For image/video generation I’ve heard it’s pretty bad but coding seems like a less intensive task. But so is gaming tbh, that heats up my apartment plenty

        repetitive, menial coding work

        You’ve clearly never written software in your life but for some reason you let marketers tell you how it works.
