Has been a while since AI were introduced into the daily basis of the users around all the internet. When it firstly came I was curious yeah like everyone and tried some prompts to see “what this thing can do”, then, I never, ever, used AI again, because I really never saw it like something necesary, we had automatic systems already, so, the time keep moving to me until this day, when I realized something: how people is dependent of this shit. I mean, REALLY is dependent, and then they go like “I only used it for school 😢” like, are you serious dude? Do you leave your future to an algorithm? Coming back with my question, years have passed, I do think we all have an opinion more developed about AI, what do you think? Fuck it and use it anyways? If that is the case, why blame companys to make more accessible it’s use? Like microsoft putting copilot even in notepad. “Microsoft just wants to compile your data.” Isn’t LLM about that? Why blame them if you are going to use the same problem with different flavor? Not defending Microsoft here, I’m only using it like an example, change it for the company of your own preference.

    You’re not wrong, but also you aren’t right. The basics that you need should be taught to you by your parents and at school before you move out. AI isn’t interfering with either of those at this point.

    You couldn’t manage your life in the event of every possible problem either, the question then becomes which things should you know how to do yourself, and which things can be delegated.

    I don’t know how to repair a car beyond changing a tire or the oil, but even that isn’t really necessary anymore since many cars don’t even come with a spare at this point and knowing how to change the oil is now irrelevant to me, since I’m using an EV.

    Knowing how to ferment for preservation may come in handy for saving a couple of dollars, but it’s hardly a life saving skill anymore. Even in the event of a massive catastrophe, it’s unlikely that fermentation would come in handy before aid arrived or you were able to leave the area.

      Your response is actually baffling to me.

      I’m not sure why you think parents are there to serve you every piece of knowledge.

      You’re an autonomous human being and you’d better learn how to learn on your own if you want to have a happy, functional life.

      As you get older you’re going to realize that nobody is going to spoon-serve you free knowledge … That’s something that is hard fought, absolutely not a gift from parents or anything else. You have to do the work.

      The fact that you just cherry-pick and poo poo my comment is a little bit sad. I see you self-imposing helplessness upon yourself, it’s a really poor attitude. I think you’re actually just lazy.

        You think it’s a kids job to learn how to become an adult themselves? What the fuck

        I’m 40, with my own kids. I’ve been teaching them everything I think they should know how to do to be an adult when they move out. How to cook and clean, make a budget, fill out forms, how to show up on time, be part of a team, etc. The school is taking care of most of the academics, but I add some extra things that the school fails to cover as extensively as I’d like such as how to properly use Microsoft Excel.

        What they do to grow once they’re out of the house isn’t my problem, I’m just setting the foundation and that absolutely is the job of parents and teachers.
