    I use AI at work everyday. If it went away the only thing that would change is I’d just go back to googling stuff

      I’m required to use it for generating code. But that’s a small part of my job. Occasionally I’ll use it to research niche topics because it’s faster than a search but I’d be just fine without it.

      I spent 10+ years coding without AI. It’s just a tool, and one that’s easily misused by people with low aptitude. I see it all the time and have to leave comments and block PRs until people fix the slop it outputs.

        Has anyone ever opened one of those books? For all we know, they could just be a bunch of blank pages on the inside

          I’ve opened some. It’s genius, it’s like a giant webpage with lots of information, but without all the ads, cookie banners, etc. Unfortunately the ones I have don’t seem to support any way to quickly search in the text. Though they’ve also thought about that, rather than implementing search these books tend to have a big overview at the start with all the separate chapters and sometimes a search index of commonly searched words at the end. Quite genius for what’s effectively just a neat monitor stand
