Change is coming...
I'll be honest: I did not expect to write this post. I, like many of you reading this, have been 110% skeptical of the value and functionality of AI for the last few years. As little as 3 months ago, I would have unequivocally said that AI was both a sham and an enormously wasteful endeavor.
I am here to tell you: I was wrong. Something in the last few months changed and, as a result, has completely flipped my perspective on AI on its head.
Things just... work now. Like, for my linux install - So far, every time I have attempted to run linux in the past, I have failed for one reason or another. Either the OS crashed, or something wasn't compatible, or I broke something that I didn't know how to fix when I was tinkering. As a result, I wasn't able to move away from Windows completely, I always had to have one foot firmly planted in the place I considered to be most stable.
But... things are totally different now. Every previous problem and misunderstanding I had before is eliminated completely with AI inside linux. Any issue I have run into has not only been surmountable, but EASY to fix. Linux is now stable, and I feel (for the first time EVER) that I have the tools to make it stay stable and even do things I never got the time to do before. It is honestly so refreshing and liberating it's unbelievable!
AI is an incredible technology that is absolutely going to revolutionize our lives in at least the same amount of ways the internet and computing have up to this point. It is difficult to fathom what level of acceleration we will experience in the next 5-10 years.
Humans have an amazing ability to optimize solutions to problems. AI does have problems, but ultimately, it's clear from the performance I am seeing from it today that those problems are solvable.
This is just the beginning. There are many problems to solve. Imagine something that has been difficult for you to do for a long time, and I am certain that thing will be made easier with AI sooner rather than later.
