I don’t know if you’re a teenager or something that thinks AI is only used to help people cheat on tests; or…
if you’re an adult that has a blue collar job where AI is basically just a glorified search engine, but…
for the rest of us it’s an integral part of our daily office lives; especially in software
During our morning meetings Claude acts like a secretary. It takes notes during the meeting and emails us all those notes when the meeting is over and during the meeting, if we want something done, we just verbally ask it to do something as if it were a real person. It can make tasks, send emails, add items to our calendars, send us reminders later in the day, etc…
Claude-Code is an app you install on your computer that, should you give it access, can literally alter files on your computer. So it helps us literally write code. Not only can it write code, it can read and review it as well. Searching for bugs, logic errors, etc… and that’s exactly what we have it do. Every time someone pushes code, Claude reviews it. Two other humans also have to review the code, but Claude always reviews everything first
And since Claude can execute commands, it can launch and use apps. So Claude not only writes our unit tests, it runs them too; and not just unit tests. Claude can literally use our application like a real human would, so we have Claude do that too
For sales and marketing, Claude does data analytics.
Nobody is going to just wake up and say, “nah, all that sucks. Get rid of it”
All of this is actually happening and it’s not even brand new. I guess it’s new to you, but some of us have been using these tools for years now.
If you’re an older adult in a blue collar field you might be able to get away with spending your life thinking it’s a stupid toy, but if you’re young you might want to pay attention because real soon you’re going to enter a work force where people are going to expect you to understand how these tools work
Tools like Siri and Alexa are over 12 years old and while they weren’t based on LLMs its a clear indication that this kind of virtual assistant is not going away
And AI Agents and real LLMs are pushing 4 years now
You think you’re being clever but you’re just setting yourself up for failure

Hey, remember that time I called you a shill?
Fuck off and go play with your Virtual Boy.
This is just silly

Again, just silly
The Virtual Boy didn’t even last a year.
