    I had a boomer normie ask me how to use AI to develop his new “business” website telling me that he didn’t want to hire a developer if the developer would just use AI anyway.

    This guy doesn’t know what a router is, and was asking me for help trying to understand what the AI was telling him, and it was the most basic shit.

    When the normies are trying to invest in AI, they’re the last to invest and know to throw money at it. That was a big signal to me that the bubble is about to pop. Money is running out and the boomers are trying to get in on it.

      Why would someone ask a person to explain an AI response they didn’t understand? Like, you’ve already offloaded the most important part from a human brain (getting a fucking answer)… Why wouldn’t you at least then ASK THE AI TO REPHRASE AND SUMMARIZE the response you didn’t understand? That’s the thing it’s actually good at doing ffs.

      Exactly this. If you hear people talking about investments around the Thanksgiving table, its time to bail. All the smart people got in months ago and have left, they are just looking for bag holders now.

        That’s the right strategy. They want to use ai, so let them. No need to speak to professionals who will use ai anyway.

      They are also the largest group by far. Doesn’t really mean much aside from the fact that adoption is now widespread.

        Oh, great, thanks! You’re a real lifesaver. [Proceeds to pay more than he would have paid for the real developer, to spend more time to create vibe-coded tech-illiterate trash.]
