As much as I hate AI, what basis do you have for this person being unable to do the things stated besides them being an AI user? I am biased to think of AI users as cheap shortcut-takers who don't care about doing things the right way and are easily fooled by something that appears to work without knowing any of the underlying problems that will come back to bite them in the end. I also can't really come up with any good-faith interpretation here for what you said. I would have to reach to the sun to read the previous comments here and interpret this as trying to gently inform them it's possible there were subtle errors in everything the chatbot said and that they might want to double-check against more credible sources that they actually did manage to do exactly what they wanted. Maybe you're similarly frustrated with AI like me (and thus understandably not wanting to hand credibility to those saying it helped them, lest someone else get pro-AI and help in creating enough pro-AI sentiment for out-of-touch decision-makers to see that they'll decide it can replace all of us in an enterprise environment with complex code) and venting frustration. But it still just looks like trying to insult them because they go against the largely anti-AI consensus here and that really does not sit well with me. Especially since this is not some private vent to a friend, it's a direct reply to a person who's going to read that and maybe feel bad. And as a fellow anti-AI person, man getting insulted by people is not going to make me friendly to listening to any arguments they have. I want civility and discussion to take precedence over "lol dissenter incompetent, probably the worst stereotype we have of someone who holds a position kind of like theirs" shots. :(
civility salt from me
Saw someone talk about how much friendlier Lemmy is than Reddit, and I have to wonder what they're subscribed to specifically because I see unfriendly potshots like this taken and upvoted decently often. It's the kind of thing that would make me think participating is risky and just never say anything, it is why I've deleted so many comments I make that disagree with anyone's position ever because I don't want to deal with that kind of behavior aimed at me. Just frustrated and tired and venting here, not trying to be scoldy or sanctimonious, but already dreading the "jesus you're not my mother, oversensitive much?" comment in the morning. Also too tired and hoping someone who might have chosen to post some "clever" insult as a reply on some other post might see this post and choose compassion instead and make their point without the insult, or just scroll away. Because it's frustrating wanting to relax and instead seeing people being mean to each other. I really have to stop clicking on anything remotely controversial in an effort to avoid seeing something like this. This isn't the first insult I've seen upvoted on Lemmy by far, it's just probably the first one I've commented on about how it made me feel without promptly deleting the comment in fear of conflict and being insulted myself—kind of a "straw that broke the camel's back" thing. Seeing this kind of thing occur on almost any thread that talks about anything remotely controversial isn't the most encouraging for people who want to have civilized discussions on meaningful things that people might passionately disagree on on the Fediverse. Also constantly editing to try to remove any hypocrisy on my part where I insult back or make unreasonable unflattering assumptions out of frustration myself.
