Ask HN: Convince me on why AI matters
I’m recently exploring the HN community and trying to be familiar with it, and I have seen quite a few people speak of AI like it’s the machine gun introduced to trench warfare.
And honestly I feel like I am missing something on the AI story, but watching Theprimeagen down play the hype, and seeing some people turn into mindless shells that cannot do something useful without AI, has turned me away from it.
I don’t think AI is completely useless, but being completely dependent on it is another thing.
I would love to hear the advantages of AI and your thoughts on it.

You will never know how Socrates would react if he sees Lenin before the October. Chatbot can easily suppose you 2-3 answers.
Yes, if there are not enough humans to do the job, robots will step in, moreover, they are already stepping in to lower production costs through increased finished product output (not through lowering wages costs, already low in Eastern economies).
Aside increasing industrial production output while lowering costs, the IA tech can increase human output in many fields, all are being live-tested in the East, chatbots are just a single tool in the toolbox, a big toolbox with thousands of tools.
