Yea.. i bought one 7 years ago but except it's just sitting there because of ink price. But for you i think you shouldn't buy one especially when you do the important work twice a year.
However , letting you kids use it is a different story. Can be useful for creatively making something or just teaching the kids

Trust. Noone would trust and AI system with this task because it actually matters and a mistake can cost alot here, of course there are people who would blindly trust it but anyone normal wouldn't.

You're right. But I didn't mean it like that , I meant the ones who don't use AI don't want to use AI to do anything because they think it's wasting time/cheating , they take pride in saying THEY made something not AI (in the same here) , but the ones who do use AI knows that cheating is fine as long as the product is good.
The fact is unless you are some really smart prodigy not using AI is not worth it most of the time..
Atleast that's my experience, I've learned programming myself to the point I can give the instructions properly and see whether the AI did something wrong or not. I think using AI as a way to save time is better than "vibe coding"
Again that's based on my experience

People who shame AI (most of them) can't do things themselves and blame others when they are actually doing something, just need the correct excuse.
They will be left behind criticising while the ones who are using AI keep moving forward with the right use of AI.

Yes , but I think the power consumption being 10x less is better here and don't forget way less memory
Ask HN: What's stopping a hardwired AI
Simple question: can't AI exist as a "hardcoded" / coded purely using transistors and logic gates with builtin weights? (Of course from an open source model) And then just power it so every output is PHYSICALLY generated based on the input. (For example a binary added can take in information, add the bits and output with very less power consumption, can we do the same for AI?) Remove the...

Re:ask HN:Are we locking ourselves in the Google ecosystem?

I'm talking about literally "Google play services" , it cannot be replaced for now , apple is different that's an entirely different ecosystem. The apps aren't the problem the problem is Google play services itself isn't effectively replaceable with anything else (as I mentioned in the previous message)
And because of that Google apps don't work , banking apps too any anything that needs security as well.

The problem is. There is always something that breaks no matter what we do.. banking apps straight up refuse to work sometimes. And many services don't work even with MicroG

Re:Ask HN: Should we still learn coding?

100% , AI should never be placed in a position where it makes all the decisions itself. Even if it can make the descisions doesn't mean you should let it. A manager is required ,that was said correctly by paul graham.
Also whether you need to learn CS depends on your goal , if you're someone who have to work in corporate or in a company then learning CS is still required.
But if your only goal is to make something using your own creative ideas then not learning CS is valid.
But it also depends on what kind of person you are. For me example i only started using AI to speed up my working once I understood everything. Some people hate completely depending on something or someone which leads them to learning the skill so they can stop depending.

You know the best way to deal with this feeling? Design and make your own apps and systems. With all the AI stuff going on users are appreciating human-made things more. If you truly love building stuff then AI shouldn't stop you doing that.

Re:Ask HN: Would a startup for young creatives who reject AI be feasible?
on Tuesday September 15, 2026 @09:58AM (#49712615)
Yes but that's for efficiency, they don't just say "make a cool game" they tell the AI exactly what to do so it doesn't break anything , that still need skill and you still have to check the code for bugs , I was referring to people who just put a single prompt and expect something good to be made from it

Yea I do agree but most of the gamers who actually stream games mostly only care about how good the game is. If it's AI but has a solid storyline and gameplay then it would most probably be a success compared to a game which was created by just "Make a cool game " prompt

Anti AI startup is definitely feasible but it also depends what you mean by anti AI , the thing is most people who know what they are doing and mostly tech people refuse the use of AI because it feels like they're cheating. But most consumers donot care about that , they just care about convenience.
The hype around AI is definitely captivating because of so much it is able to do, Anti AI definitely stands out because of so much AI stuff going around but the startup needs to be still good,
For example: if you just make a game company saying you never use AI that's not very convincing for anyone to play the games. People don't care about whether you used AI or not most of the time , they care about the game.
But if you start a company claiming to make a AI less smartphone with extra privacy that's something people might like because AI is literally EVERYWHERE right now.
I'm not very good at examples but you get my point
