  1. But will they stop working with her? She has a book club podcast and works with authors to promote their books basically in exchange for the rights to make them into movies and tv shows with her own production company.

    “I think we should learn the basics together and learn some really good tools that are going to make our everyday lives easier and better.“

    Genuinely, where would I use AI in my everyday life? Not counting work, where it’s being pushed down my throat, and even there, the most reliable use I have for it is adding docstrings to my code. This has been something that’s been stressing me out every time someone says, “you’re gonna be left behind if you don’t learn AI,” because what am I missing?
    I don’t know how it would make my everyday life easier and better, if anything, it’s made my life worse and frustrating.

  3. This is going to be an unpopular opinion because it goes against a lot of the comments in other threads, but she’s completely right. First I’ll preface this by saying that I’m against AI and refuse to learn it despite my industry moving that direction, but a lot of regular workers are already using AI to help with their jobs (like one guy I know who lets AI help out with his work while on his lunch break). Most of the job applications I see in my field are either AI jobs or have AI components to them.
