Oh, look, a keyboard for the AI experts.

@jack_daniel "youll get left behind!" "Isnt it something that literally does what you tell it and takes 0 learning to use?" "Well yeah kind of" "OK, bye"

Note this only applies to slop bots not actual machine learning and development we have had for decades.

@jack_daniel this is a product image of a real thing you can buy. manufacturer is SinLoon Electronic Co. in Shenzhen, CN. available from amazon and newegg, among other places. unclear if this image is a photo, render, or gen-ai.

@jack_daniel That has more features, than they really need though. This would be sufficient:

@jack_daniel It's missing the macro key to type "I asked my friend Chatty and that's what he responded:"

[jack_daniel@mastodon.social]

@gray17 yes, that's where I got the image-
Because Control/Command C/V (and X for power users) are so tedious.

@jack_daniel
Ingenious.

@jack_daniel: That's just a cheap copy of the StackOverflow keyboard called "The Key"…

Picture taken from https://thetechfrontier.net/2023/04/01/the-key-v2-macropad/ as (Mass)Drop's product page is gone. (And I don't have mine with me at the moment.)

@jack_daniel I miss the good old days, when we would use these keys on Stack Overflow, like god intended.

@jack_daniel

In reality, you need four keys, ctr+c, ctr+v, switch window combo key, and Enter.

And yes, I made this with help from AI, and Yes, I use it every day.

@jack_daniel
Honestly if you put those buttons on a mouse I'd use them extensively just to avoid the right click context windows.

I just want to add what I think is a too often ignored advantage of using copy-paste rather than manually typing the text again. Using copy-paste will significantly reduce the risk of introducing typos into the text you are copying.

I know my opinion on this might not be given much weight, after all I am just a human and humans are fallible.

[albirew@soshar.dess.ga]

@jack_daniel@mastodon.social it's a rebrand of "the stack overflow keyboard"

[darkcat09@gts.dc09.xyz]

@jack_daniel
No-no-no, it doesn't have to be an "AI era" product. I think it could be invented a decade earlier, when StackOverflow was a popular place to copy code from

[avuko@infosec.exchange]

@kasperd @jack_daniel

I read the joke as “people who use genAI copy-paste responses, instead of thinking themselves”.

I don’t think it was meant as a general statement about copy pasting, but I could be wrong.

[danish_akhtar7@mastodon.social]

@jack_daniel

No one knows it better than me. I create AI videos.

[notyourfanboy@kolektiva.social]

@jack_daniel
Anyone who writes code, knows that copy & paste has always been used all the time.

[passwordsarehard4@mastodon.social]

@kasperd @avuko @jack_daniel I don’t know, man. You almost had me and then you went and insisted your a human.

[ayba@mastodon.social]

@jack_daniel the real AI era product, is a 'Y' keyboard (they just accept what claude code gives them)

[alexafuur174@mastodon.social]

@jack_daniel hello

[jack_daniel@mastodon.social]

@kasperd @avuko agree! I use copy (or cut*) and paste all the time.

*Except in Excel, *cut* and paste in Excel often does unpleasant things. But, Excel, so unpleasant is expected.
