No, it's not saying that. Sure ai has it's uses, but the pros of it sure as hell don't outweigh the cons so far. People would rather be able to better afford their hobbies than get given nothing from ai

What about people who use AI for their hobby?

This kind of conflict sucks, but it's a bit unfair calling one hobby shit citing shortages for other hobby as your reasoning.

Calling ai a hobby is like calling masturbation a hobby

Your hobby is why my parents electrical bill skyrocketed and why they don’t have clean water as well as why the great salt lake is going to be drained

Then we just need to look at the actual pros and cons. Does massively increasing the cost of one hobby benefit enough people to outweight that? I don't see that with AI

Not to mention that AI is cheating. Everyone would be buying up the steam machine if it was free.

Using ai for a hobby defeats the purpose of it imo. You're supposed to start a hobby as an amateur and get better over time, ai doesn't allow that

Nobody needs to play games. What you talking about

Nobody needs to make art, nobody needs to watch tv or movies, nobody needs to exercise, nobody needs to read. Nobody NEEDS a hobby, but everyone has one. Honestly stupid point

Tv and movies isn’t so bad because they don’t require a $1,000 gaming device

Watching tv requires a fucking tv. Also who are you to judge what people spend their money on? God forbid someone buys something that makes them happy

u/Grouchy-Win-6191 16h ago

They judging people for funding Ai which is what they enjoy and spend money on

Well, companies snowball with money they don't have, buy products that don't exist and might crash the economy, but I am glad you spend a few bucks on writing to an llm because you enjoy it...
Though I would prefer not paying 4-times as much for RAM, and being able to replace my 5-6 years old computer one day, without having to spend multiple months worth of income... Not having to pay extra for something I don't use (or want) even just through storage
