My position is that AI is going to end up being good at certain things, and it's going to be not so good at others, and that mix will change over time, but generally improve. I don't think it's going to replace all jobs and I don't think it's a world-ender.
My job as an engineer is to understand the technology and understand how to deploy it for the benefit of the people that I work for, up to and including myself. There's no room for dogma here. It's purely curiosity, investigation, and trial and error. See what works, see what doesn't.
Personally, I dislike centralized power because I think it's dangerous. And so, one of my goals is to find ways to use AI in a more distributed context that people have control over. Technology accrues benefits to those who deploy it. Therefore, I'd like to find ways for everyone to be able to deploy good technology.
If you look at my reply further down, I have never used AI in HN comments, and likely never will. As I said, it defeats the purpose. I'm not sure what I said above that suggests I use AI to write comments.
