    I am occasionally getting hired by vibe coders, to fix their AI’s mess. It’s not ego. AI is just not smart enough to replace my job, and many others.

    My anti-AI rage is caused by the marketing, trying to convince people and investors that AI can do the work of humans with lower cost. Many companies, especially those developing software, fired a large percentage of the work force, and then they were trying to hire them back to fix the AI’s shit.

    Another reason for my hate is its energy needs. There was another post, that was talking about an estimation on how much energy GPT-5 needs. It’s thought that it needs the power of 2 nuclear reactors. This much energy to barely be able to do any job.

      People make a complete mess of DIY with powertools, that doesnt mean that the powertools are the problem.

      The energy usage stuff is just silly, its dwarfed by streaming and video games, never mind actually energy intensive things like heating transport and meat rearing.
