why the fuck

Because, despite us being in the Information Age, and computers surrounding us everywhere, only a very small portion of the population consider that learning how they work may be useful.

    I'm sure if more people learned about how computers work, AI wouldn't be a thing because they'd realize that computing-based tasks can already be automated without LLMs.

    Tell that to my developer colleagues who are busy defining "skills" for the AI to do the mundane things our tools could already do. It may waste huge amounts of electricity, water and money, make us dependent on American megacorporations, cause their skills to atrophy, and be a gamble every time, but at least they don't have to read the manual.
