      Well it’s going to put a damper on my Ansible “coding”.

      You think I want to properly learn that piece of junk? It was obsolete and archaic before it was released, and it survives on naivete and churn cost and nothing else. There is no part of my time doing yaml for Ansible that I want to actually retain or build on, and without chatGPT to slop-in the changes I need to make, I may be forced to do it myself. And I lack the crayons now and alcohol for after.

      Actually subjecting my brain to Ansible directly in real-time is a horror. It is just so fucking lame compared to everything else – it even pales compared to the DevOps we were doing in 2002 before it was even called that. Let my have my robots to slop the Ansible and save my sanity !

      It works wonderfully well as a search engine, when I have to find obscure specialized info. Can always criss check once I have a idea.

        Because companies destroyed actual search engines in the race for billions of dollars.

        Kagi, searx are fricken awesome and much like the web in mid 2000s before corporations destroyed it.

        Its not a search engine, its a data digester. Dont use it as a search engine. Despite what alphabet, micro-shit, and DDG think, AI chatbots do not now, nor will they ever make good search engines.

        This is a prime example of why access to these tools should be restricted to computer scientists and research labs. The average person doesn’t know how to use them effectively (resulting in enormous power wasted by ‘prompt engineering’), and the standard available models aren’t good at digesting non-linguistic data.

        I’m not gonna downvote you, or be like all “AI is the devil and its gonna kill us all” but people need to use it correctly or we ARE going to kill ourselves with its waste heat.

        Edit: ficksed an werd

        This is primarily because search engines have become so unreliable and enshittified that they are useless. It’s not a mark in favor of AI as much as a reminder of how bad search engines have become.

        For the record I do the same thing after failing to find anything on DuckDuckGo after multiple attempts. Maybe I should give Kagi a try, but AI is making the entire internet worse, so I feel pessimistic about that, too.

        What’s it like working in a field where you are completely incompetent?

            What’s it like being an amateur that is so clueless you actually think you have any capacity to analyze what is good, better, best for coding?

              pretty much yeah, lmao…STILL, i will do my best to be nice to everyone here, despite our many differences, because i’m so fucking sick of getting banned from everywhere. i racked up so many minor reddit infractions that i can’t even make a new account now. it is seriously the internet equivalent of getting a life sentence for three speeding tickets. fucking three strikes rule is so fucking stupid

                Bright side of Lemmy, you can say fuck. Downsides include, death of nuance, dogpiling, herd behavior and people who try to take down others.

                If this your best, I can see why you’re banned on Reddit. This is the one time where their algorithms are right.

                You’re a toxic person and are completely oblivious to it.

                You need to go move into mommy’s basement until you’ve learned how to play nice with others.

                  honestly the people on both reddit and lemmy world are bad for my mental health. last month i had a relapse and reddit tried to gaslight me into thinking i was in the middle of a psychotic break. i was just high, ffs
