You know what happens to technology when enough people stop using it?
I don't in general, but if enough people stop using AI and I still have access to GPUs then I have a pretty good advantage.
So unless it gets outlawed, I don't see people opting out of it
Advantage at what? Enjoying life?
I personally preferred to code without AI; but it's objectively possible to do more things now so you're more competitive compared to other people who are not using AI. The tragedy is that since everybody is using AI, we cannot bank those advantages and we're just all going to suffer (a variation on the tragedy of the commons theme)
Huh. I guess I just never viewed coding as a competitive sport.
what do you do for a living?
I'm a coder. But software sales are very unnatural—data wants to be free, baby!
