The proliferation of genAI has made my life

@cwebber I voted "no difference" because the direct impacts are pretty minimal for me personally thus far.
Largest impact has been negative in that discussion of AI in software tech spaces has driven out every other interesting topic.
@gregtitus @cwebber yeaa but RAM and flash crisis tho..

@cwebber it finished killing my motivation to work with computers + job market is atrocious so there was no chance for me to negociate doing my job part time while going back to school. I don't trust the art I see on mainstream platforms anymore.

@valpackett @cwebber True! I have delayed potential computer and disk purchases.

@cwebber in some ways better - I can vibecode things I didn't have time, or skills for. Deep Research is amazing and there are many great AI services. In some ways worse as all the support chatbots that use cheap and useless models, all AI slop...

@cwebber Assuming that proliferation means growth, it made my life worse. I wanted to say better in some ways but since I don't use it much, if at all, it just made my life worse with all these costs in SSDs, Graphics Cards, etc... rising, people requiring it for jobs with the intention of replacing human beings (regardless of whether or not it is possible), etc...

@cwebber Even if it didn't also ruin my mood - which it does - it adds friction & removes effectiveness & quality in my otherwise awesome job... so yeah, definitely worse.
