well a human is meant to manually copy what other humans did to understand the fundamentals to then effortlessly be able to use those fundamentals they learned to create new things
because everyone relies on AI, not to learn fundamentals but to avoid ever having to even cognize what the fundamentals could even be, all of human society will crawl to a halt yes
and we think we're smart somehow. as if

you have no control over the updates to AI so even if you make it "work" it'll just stop working later. it's a losing game where you get nowhere, unlike in hard skills where humans learn cumulatively and exponentially because the fundamentals aren't always shifting sand under their feet
AI was designed for governments to be able to go through the ridiculous amounts of spy data they collected on all their citizens. I would surmise them "trying" to make it a commercial product is so they can just get access to more snooping data. the inaccuracy cost/benefit works only then
If your are creating really something completely new, you have a custom idea / algorithm, AI is really against you. So far, I did not really notice it, because lets face it, when are you creating something really new? It`s mostly just all the same, maybe different gameplay, other type of data, but it is still the same. I am trying to reinvent agentic browsing because everyone fails at that. I found the golden hammer. I was so enthousiast that for the first time in quite a while i coded myself again. At a certain moment, i had my skeleton ready and do what i always do: I let AI finish it. That did it completely correct. But then, i went moving on and i started to realize that it was strongly opiniated to do things different > like everyone does > everyone fails.
AI is so interesting, i really compare it to learning C. Everytime you think you master it, you get shot in the foot unexpectedly. With AI it`s exactly the same.
Also, it is just NOT AI. That is ok it is still PARTIALLY useful... Very useful. But the last thing we need is a agentic React and feedback loop. I could write a rant about that as well. Those things are literally a trial on error approach delivering what we are used to from AI. Stuff that kinda works. Slowly, slowly, we find out that we actually don`t want someone to think for us. Maybe that is the great thing and benefit of a computer, it doesn`t think. Maybe the whole concept of AI, the idea of it, is broken.
Just like VR. Lets create a virtual world that looks super closely to the real world. But in reality, we already have a real world and it is not comfortable to be disconnected of it in the form of a headset. I think it will never be comfortable for me.
Some concepts are just better in theory than reality.
Still, I am the creator of the best AI companion / assistant ever! Only issue is, the magic is a bit gone if you create it yourself.
