I realise this is a tricky topic and I hope it’s ok to ask this question. I genuinely want to hear how AI has changed people lives for the better. If you really hate AI I get it, but this isn’t a question for you then. Thank you and it’s all love.
(Edit: Thank you to all the positive commenters and for sticking with me through the inevitable negativity. Lots of really interesting comments in here 😁 We mustn’t let ourselves be intimidated by those who would try to forbid us from having these conversations. Thanks again)
It has democratized coding which I think is cool. People with no coding experience can think of a solution to a problem and have it coded up. It is honestly a very positive future to think of using your own computer to build new automated personal workflows. “Jarvis, make a dashboard of soccer results for the last two weeks, find the median team and display social media feeds for all their players”.
Of course it does mean a lot more junk published software, but the vibe coding personal projects is basically future tech utopia.
Otherwise AI in the general sense is a tool used by researchers and engineers, any benefit there is a good thing.
