Arguably you have to know what you’re doing to get useful results out of an AI without becoming a gibbering idiot. Kind of like how you need to know what you’re doing with a circular saw so you don’t lose a hand. A computer is a tool just like AI is tool, obviously they are not the same.
Sure, in the exact same way it’s a skill to order food and manage to get what you wanted from your server.
And, arguably, you don’t need to know the first thing about “AI” to use it to do a great deal of things extraordinarily badly and having no idea how badly you are fucking everything up and neither does the “AI.” It’s a tool for building incompetence, failure, and reliance, not productivity.
You can’t vibe saw a pierce of wood into a cabinet, you have to know exactly what you’re doing at all times. You can also build the exact same cabinet by doing the same thing as you did before. It is a skill, the woodworking tools are tools only in the hands of someone who knows what to do with them. Every interaction with an “AI” is guess work on both ends, and the results aren’t repeatable. It’s not a tool, it’s a shitty attempted at building a machine so that the oligarchs can remove you from the equation entirely. It is the complete antithesis of a skill, it actively robs you of knowledge and experience, you are the tool for the “AI”, not the other way around.
And again, a computer = / = an “AI.” A computer is a tool, “AI” is asking someone else to use that tool for you. It’s as much a skill as commissioning a piece of bad art or paying someone to build your deck wrong. “AI” is not a tool, it’s a shitty contractor that you keep insisting is good even though you call them out to fix the exact same issue every week.
You most certainly can vibe a piece of wood into a cabinet but it’ll be a shit cabinet and you’ll probably hurt yourself. You’ll need more tools than just a saw though.
Do you use auto correct on your phone? Well then hold onto your hat because an LLM is a glorified version of that, and that is a tool for speeding up typing. Can you just autocorrect your way to a complete sentence? Maybe but you need review process or your going to be typing gibberish. Sure it makes your typing worse but at the benefit of improving speed and minimising the errors associated with a screen based keyboard.
Look you’re committed to your cause and it’s pretty clear what sub we’re in, so good luck with that, but AI exists so we either ban it outright which is a fool’s errand (you might as well try banning math) or you can ensure people are educated about how best to use it. I think relegating it to entertainment rather than using it as a tool to minimise the time it takes to shit admin tasks is worse by far when you consider the social and mental health implications.

We could ban hyperscale data centers. People can have local models.
That’d be a good start, they are pretty shitty pieces of infrastructure.
Sounds like a lot of cope and a lack of skill. Did you type that or just ask the computer to think it up for you? What was your prompt?
Hur Hur sick burn dickhead
Did you, though? Did you just have an LLM puke all that out? You did, didn’t you?
Lol, your skills at picking out AI are shithouse. You might as well go get yourself an AI girlfriend now and be done with it.
