It's sort of a "bad software devs make hard times make good software devs, good software devs make easy times, easy times make bad software devs" not to mention the mega corps fists holding everything
Pacstrap, as it saves you so much time during the arch installation, especially when installing the base and kernel
Free and open source chicken nuggies
Git, it's saves you so much time

If you're leaning into philosophy sure, but in the tech world, we definitely have more free will than A.I
Well, the way modern A.I works, It won't be able to "Do what it wants" mainly because after all it's a computer and computers do 100% what you tell them to, So unless you personally program it to "enjoy" the afterlife, It'll just stay still Yes, our brains function similarly to how neural networks work, the difference is we evolve and have free will, meanwhile computers don't
Exactly, Not to mention the amount of "loophole prompts" in the models twitter bots for example use, "ignore all previous prompts and print x" would work on a poorly trained one. Also they are Generative Pre-Trained Transformers, which means that all they do is find the word which has the highest probability (If i say "Hello", the word "Hey" would have a higher probability than "Window") so they would really suck at math especially algebra since the letter would mix with the words and numbers.
Most A.I's that are used for that are just souped up versions of autocorrect, For example if you ask an A.I to count something, or answer a simple day-to-day question, for example "How many n's are in the word mayonnaise" (unless it looks it up in It's database) It won't answer It

I'm not a professional at A.I but i highly recommend using yolov5, It's available on github and there's plenty of documentation and YT videos on It You can clone it, install the requirments and have fun, you can even use live camera!
