It's probably really petty, but does anyone else dislike the word "experience" in context of things like theme parks, art galleries etc? I hear people use it all the time and I'm really miffed about it for some reason. You no longer go to a restaurant, an arcade or to a haunted house, you're going to the ✨ experience ✨. I'm not even sure why I feel so strongly about it. Maybe because it's like an equivalent of the word "content" for the irl things?

So my $company forced AI tools down our throats recently - everyone has to claim a license for either Cursor, Copilot or Windsurf, even if they don't plan on using it. Upper management is huffing copium, telling everyone those tools are useful and reliable now (this time for real, guys!) and it will greatly improve our productivity.And how is it going in reality?Well, for example - yesterday I was working on an issue that turned out to be more complicated than I thought. A well-meaning coworker decided to "help" me by feeding this repo's code to Cursor and asking it to come up with a solution to my problem. Damn clanker scanned my WIP code and spat out a rehash of it that was worse, wasn't compiling, had business logic errors and (obviously) wasn't correct. And I mean, I didn't expect anything different, but I still wasted an hour of my life analyzing the code and explaining to my coworker that I appreciate the intent, but it's completely worthless.And it's not the first time it happened...

@gilesgoat yes, I agree!And the problem is, with a simple web search no one (hopefully) is expecting the results to 100% match your exact case, there is still a layer of "look at the results and think how to apply them to your problem". With those AI tools, people are often mislead into believing those tools can do the "thinking" step for you - no matter if you your problem is about a well documented, open source code (where LLM has a bigger chance to guess a correct-ish answer) or an ancient, internal library your Chinese coworker wrote in 1995 and didn't left any documentation for.

@thankfulmachine I know, right?Even funnier is how they were fomo-ing people into rushing to claim their license, saying those are limited quantity, first come, first serve!But when I said I won't be getting one to let it go to someone who may actually want it, I was (very politely) informed that haha no, I WILL be getting one. :---)I'll be thinking about it every time I see a headline along the lines "$AI_COMPANY reports 6174891 billions users, investors very happy, chart goes up"

@skrzyp my (stupidly long) job title includes word "K*bernetes" in it, it's probably my most shameful secret 😔

@skrzyp I see this sentiment more and more often among the computer people, yearning for doing something physical, something that actually *provides some tangible results* instead making the chart go up 😩(also lol at kibelsedes)

After more than 10 years and cycling through countless computers, consoles, gadgets and gizmos, my old 3DS still provides me the most enjoyable experience. Just powerful enough for some really fun games but still feels like a truly /portable/ console (looking at you, Steam Deck), has the most whimsy and friendly interface, the community support is outstanding... No real point here, I just love my 3DS :ac_joy:
