I am just going to lay it out simple: I hate AI. I have no interest in AR glasses/Meta glasses. Everything has been e-shitified.
Ironically, prior to the AI era, I was a huge techie. I was a software developer. Also ironically, you would think being a part of younger generations I would be interested in the lastest tech. That couldn't be further from the truth.

Yeah, more so lately than before. Personally, I do still like cool tech and seeing what it can do, but it feels like a lot of companies are making products to extract value from customers first and foremost, rather than focusing on creating value and letting the profits follow.
Like, I've come around to using AI-assisted search because it can be genuinely useful (though I try to prompt it as thoroughly as possible and make sure to check the sources when it's anything important). But I use Brave or local models, and I sure as hell don't need, like, an AI-powered smart toaster or whatever the hell they're coming up with nowadays.
Similarly, VR and AR are really promising for gaming or even everyday tasks, but I hate that Meta, out of everyone, is the leading vendor, especially with the glasses people are wearing out in public now.
It's super annoying, to say nothing of the privacy and security implications because I could go all day. Suffice it to say I don't care for Zuck or anyone stalking my every move online or out on the street.
I really like AI. Use it mostly to make sense of large amounts of brain injury testing that have to be evaluated for different relationships within a single person. I used to spend about 3 to 4 hours with a hand calculator checking the relationships within one of these things. The AI can do it in about 2 minutes or less. It saves me a lot of trouble and gives me a lot more time to look and think about what I'm seeing, so I can do a faster and sometimes better job of helping people by knowing what the correct treatments are for their condition. I would hate to lose my access to AI.
Also want to say very clearly that the AI makes mistakes, so during the time that it's working, I have to stay right on top of it and stop it when it starts making errors. I've not yet found a good way to stop it from doing this, and I've tried different kinds of instructions to it. Sometimes it'll work for an hour or two and then stop working. Can be just maddening since the expectation is that the AI will not make these kinds of mistakes yet it does.
AI is especially good for non-technical people. In my situation, it affects job security/career prospects and it completely flips the paradigm on its head. I miss the days when I had a hard skill most other people didn't have and felt like I truly owned my work. I didn't get into the tech industry for some virtual developer to do my work for me and to have to babysit it along the way.
You would not be babysitting it. You would be supervising it, and there's a big difference.
no i love it, we have the best and the latest of everything and the people who know how to use it (which certainly isn't me) and it is amazing some of the things these guys can do
mine own is limited to my phone, it runs my life and controls everything in my house and synchs with my schedule and everything i need, so i love that too

You're just looking at the wrong tech, kiddo.
I feel technology ruined real life. I don’t see much difference. We are still bored but faster. No waiting
No, but I couldtrll you how it all works but really have little use to any of it.
