“There is no other practical logical purpose for this tool.”

I briefly worked for a guy who owned a networking business in 1995, and he did not have a website. I told him he needed to get online, and he said he thought the Internet was “a fad”.

There is no other reason for your statement than pure ignorance. It’s not a matter of whether Ai will have practical uses. It already does.

Lots of people are getting rich by using Ai to do their work more efficiently. When you can do 10x, 100x, or more work, you can get paid significantly more.

Core business functions are already being done entirely by Ai for many companies, and it only continues to gain more capabilities.

Now is the time for individuals to learn to exploit Ai for their own benefit and build something useful before it requires licenses, regulatory compliance, and massive capital investments.

Tell me which one of these uses is not for laziness and/or greed?

Well said.

I am a much better developer because of the AI tools I use.

I’ve been using Claude Code, mostly for generating boiler-plate code.

I mean, here’s the DDL of a database, go build my Data Access Layer. *Click* Done!

I was one of the early web page adopters—learned html and created my own page in the 90s.

At that point I was so proud of myself I told my employer I wanted to create a web page so they could use it to advertise and explain their product to the public in greater depth.

They laughed at me.
