Personally for me it has been amazing. It has made my job way more fun and interesting instead of grunt work. The AI boom has also indirectly opened up a lot of opportunities to stack serious cash. I like it.

Even if wanting to do with something with art as a kid was always gonna be a hopeless ambition, the AI boom certainly killed it

what part of EE are you has seen the most boom? Like power,
electronics, embedded, or something. Have you noticed any Al tools creeping in yet

they should honestly all be fired until they adopt it into their work flows. I'm invested heavily into AI stocks and the bad PR it gets is causing me to lose money.

I honestly just use it to make generated images of women I see and for helping me learn technical stuff that I would otherwise have to search through manual pages for. Maybe Iโ€™m just not creative

For real. Now that I think about it, there is one other downside to it.
FOMO on implementing some AI automation whenever I create a new workflow in my current business.

Wanting to do something the old fashioned way and not being able to because you know it could use some 'extra power', it's really just annoying sometimes.

Its a double edged sword, the more people adopt it, the more ordinary I seem at the workplace

Well AI has for sure taken out a lot of those grunt work jobs that used to be the go to mr joe average or stepping the stone type jones. That ladder rung is missing for a lot of people. So it is brutal for them

boom is hard to say. we have basically reduced our load and reliance on computing specialists with ai but we still need vhdl guys funny enough. i think, honestly, electronics has had the biggest boom simply bc the hardware -> software jump is so much easier now given we have less ppl to rely on. we can communicate our intentions to an llm and itll write some slop that we can then manually check over. its brilliant.

power wont rely on ai. its quite engineer-y and physics based. controls is quite mathsy which is why i like it, but apart from the coding of a PIC or whatever, we wont do much ai stuff in controls.

theres plenty ai tools, but specific to us idk. we will need to wait a bit. there is talk of these sort of licensed business models but its just another matlab problem, no company is gonna pay the license for u to write some slightly quicker code.

I think ai is cool, shit like ChatGPT can be very helpful and help you learn a lot about anything

I made around $1k in December doing data annotation freelance work training ai

it is, outlier ai, handshake ai, etc
i honestly thought it was a very odd gimmick. the business location was just someone's (presumably the owner's) address when i looked at it yrs ago. the thought of timing myself each task just to then be compared to their automatic timer is silly.

a thousand bucks isnt bad at all for just sitting on ur computer writing some slop tbh.

There's also Mindrift, Mercor but This is low tier AI work. Move into Al orchestration roles and domain expertise in something like software law or medicine outlier pays extra for those.

Gave me a business, and money.

I like it right now but I think itโ€™ll get worse.

None lol, only affects college CS majors & CS careers. but that is a mixture of AI & Oversaturation, but i mean it was bound to happen anyways if a entry-level position at a CS company guarantees you a 6 figure salary

I bought some nvdia shares back in 2020, so itโ€™s pretty good for me. I also use chat gpt a lot for school and work.

feel like AI is an equalizer, but at the same time itโ€™s making me dumber over time.
Anything Iโ€™m not good at, I rely on AI for. Take English and writing, for example. Earlier, I had to depend on Grammarly and similar tools to fix my grammar. Now ChatGPT gives me perfectly written responses in different tones. I use it everywhere, and because of that, the difference across most of the bell curve feels almost nonexistent unless i speak and find i know nothing about the topic jfl at least itโ€™s hard to notice flaws anymore if someone has even an ounce of brain cells.
I also feel like knowledge itself has lost some value. Most of what I โ€œknowโ€ is just at the tip of my tongue, because for anything else I can instantly look it up on ChatGPT, on any topic.

i hate AI it is making me a zombie and i can't stop using it and i have no job i can't outpace AI in its capability in doing tasks which were for avg humans now claude and cursor write code and make full website in minutes. where do avg IQ niggas like me go?

Honestly has opened up the door for website coding to be done by your average person.

Grok keeps getting nerfs on how he can make more or less spicy videos from random images that I send, so it is relatively useless now and barely usable.. :fuk:

Only good things about ai are the ai chat sites for incels to cope with and image generators you can make custom images with. Other than that ai is horrid and a menace to society

When I was in school it took a little more effort to cheat since that was before all this ai stuff, but I still found plenty of ways to do it jfl
