Asking for a lot of friends.

This translates to, "My product is the best thing ever, so I highly suggest you use it!" said every snake oil salesman ever.

"100% take advantage of AI, don't be that person."

Translation: better buy tons of our shit or else.

You can use something like Copilot to fill out interfaces, refactor large projects, or generate a mocking class. But if you don't know the project, then the AI assistant won't be much help. Copilot doesn't really work that well if you ask it broad questions, it will give you vague answers. But if you know precisely what you want, it can bang out the necessary boilerplate to get it going.

So rather than AI replacing your college degree and years of experience, it supplements it. So kids, don't think that you can just coast through college because AI will do your thinking for you. That's not how this works at all, and you'll hit a brick wall one day if you slack off on your education and career.

The early AI chatbots were mostly useless crap generators

Now, they are starting to get useful, not nearly as useful as the hypemongers claim, but genuinely useful

The demos look very impressive, but there is a big difference between a carefully made demo and real deployment

My crystal balls say...

Some competent workers will use AI tools effectively to improve their productivity and quality

Some less competent workers will use AI tools to generate crap that may cause lots of problems

Other competent workers will

Old Pitch: AI will reduce expenses by eliminating jobs:

Response: Fuck you, Fight AI!

New Pitch: People who use AI will steal your jobs.

Response: The fuck they will! I'm gettin' me some AI right now!

That phrase is little more than semantic trickery. I will likely lose notable parts of my job to AI. So much so that it won't be much of a job at all. That goes for many more people than myself.

I will have something remotely resembling a "job" (read: "useful/regarded social position") _not_ by using AI but focusing on skills that AI _can't_ provide that easily. Like meaning- and mindful human interaction, a healthy human body and real functional social skills that go along with it.

Using a bot won't make my

It sounds desperate. Like if not enough start using AI quick enough some bubble will pop and their company wont be able to continually grow until it snuffs out all life in the GPU petri dish.
