Wait it has an impact on the environment?Well you don't seriously think the computing requirement to run these things come from the ether, do you? It's like how cryptocurrency has a notable impact.
Wait it has an impact on the environment?Uses tons of freshwater for cooling data centers, though now some companies are saying they will or do use AC cooling, but that just further pollutes.
or by being inplememted in healthcare/insurance etc.What healthcare companies are touting as AI is a fairly simple decision tree. It literally replaces the old physical forms where they ask questions that are followed by "If Yes, go to question 6. If No, go to question 8". A human is still answering those questions
The tech itself is neat, it's like the next level of procedural generation algorithms.This summarizes it pretty well.
The parts where it automates jobs that shouldn't be automated, is marketed and sold as something it shouldn't be, is being rushed and speculated on recklessly in ways it shouldn't be, is using precious resources so it can be scaled at levels it shouldn't be, has forever altered our ability to determine what's real and what's fake, and that there's no going back, yeah that all sucks.

He's overstating it quite a bit. You can run DeepSeek locally on a decent gaming computer. It's likely your cell phone will be able to run a fairly competent AI locally in the near future.DeepSeek is relatively energy efficient but there are many, many more that aren't.
The actual training is the most energy intensive process. Once it's actually made it doesn't need much energy.
I have not seen it replace anyone yet and I'm in tech. I've only seen it help a lot of people in their role by reducing busy work and allowing them to focus on other tasks.https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/5/5a53b564.jpg

I've only seen it help a lot of people in their role by reducing busy work and allowing them to focus on other tasks.Yeah but that's how automation normally eliminates jobs. We imagine it as a thing where companies bring in some fancy new machine and everyone who does that job is abruptly fired, but it almost never works that way. The real life situation is usually that machines come in allowing the same or greater productivity with fewer people. So companies gradually bring in more machines and phase out more workers. After awhile, the number of people working has dwindled to a fraction of what it once was.
I'm not saying that won't happen, but it isn't happening in the spaces I'm in because most people have many different aspects to their job. Right now AI is supporting their positions, not replacing them.
Right now AI is supporting their positions, not replacing them.I don't think it's at the point where it would be outright "replacing" people who are already working there yet, at least not very often.
I'm a software engineer as well, and Copilot has been extremely helpful in explaining code written in languages I'm not too familiar with, like shell scripts.
