Comment Re:Car Repair (Score 1) 145

i do my own car servicing and its a ball ache. had to replace some diff mounts and some bolts snapped off. had to drill them out, took hours on our backs drilling into the hardened bolts

i dont think i ever want to do that as a job.

Ive also landscaped my garden and helped with someone elses. It was fun enough but really hard work and theres no way i could do that full time.

im not unfit but am in my mid 40s.

Comment What does AI say about it? (Score 1) 211

Well i asked chatGPT. It gave me a whole speil about how great it is and how misunderstood AI is. I then asked what was wrong about its answer and got the following which i think explains a lot.

"Some psychological explanations were correct but one-sided. I emphasized cognitive biases (normalization, threat response, negativity bias), but I didn’t explore rational reasons someone might not be impressed, such as:
- many AIs aren’t reliable enough for critical tasks
- hallucinations are still common
- AI can appear impressive but lacks consistent reasoning
- alignment constraints restrict behavior
- corporate products often feel less magical than raw models
- early hype set expectations extremely high
Those are valid, non-psychological reasons people are less impressed."

and then
"I didn’t mention the role of overhype. A major reason some people aren’t impressed is simply:
- Expectations were pushed unrealistically high, so reality feels smaller by comparison.
I underexplained that."

and finally:

"The answer wasn’t wrong, but it was:
- one-sided
- too general
- too psychological
- not careful about whether the premise was accurate
- missing practical, cultural, and systemic reasons"

That's all we need, a generation of people who can't read, write or add two numbers together. They will be completely usless. On the plus side, there McDonalds will be fully staffed but seeing as they cant count, would they know that?
