Reply to comment by AGI_69 in I think this post will be monumentally important for some of you to read. Put it in your brain, think about it, and get ready for the next few years. If you are part of this Subreddit; You are forward thinking, you're already ahead of the curve, you will have one shot to be at an advantage. NOW. by AdditionalPizza

Hey look, someone read a title to a post and then a couple lines, formed an opinion on it and attacked the op.

It's not excessive, and it will be important for some people to read that need a push. AI isn't going anywhere and encouraging people betterment for themselves is not obnoxious.

Everyone thinks, his/her post is important. You really do not need to sound like a crack-pot, wannabe prophet (your words).

I scanned the post and there is nothing new. Just points, that are reiterated here million times. Just reduce the grandiosity and self-importance by like 90%.

Like what? What has been reiterated here a million times? I've not seen much if any mention in posts or comments recommending people to use AI now in preparation for staying on top of it in the future. You "scanned" the post but you didn't read it. I don't really care if you did, but your argument is nonsense.

>Just reduce the grandiosity and self-importance by like 90%.

Yeah? Ok, sorry boss?

I don't think my post is important. I think the message in it is. I browse the sub and I've seen a lot of people worrying about automation and employment in the future. Do you maybe think some of these people don't see themselves as superior as yourself?

Some people are lost, some are anxious, it's a post to help some people focus on self improvement and prepare for the future. There's students making the leap into post-secondary education and they think they're going to be phased out of the market before they even get the chance to participate. There's people from impoverished backgrounds trying to make a career change and afraid they're going to waste their time learning something that will be obsolete in a year. There's people with disabilities that can't imagine being able to compete against AI and haven't thought of honing their skills by utilizing it now while it's still new.

And accept nuance next time, I said I don't mean to sound like a crack-pot prophet. As in, I know initially it sounds like it with a title like that but I'm stressing how important it is for people to stay up-to-date with AI.

Let people be the judge of what is "monumentally important" or what should they get "in their brain". Write your post, without all that grandiosity and self-importance. I've read posts, that were 1000x times more interesting/novel/profound and none of them started with, how "monumentally important" the post is going to be.

It's sales dude. Your interesting, novel, profound, humble post doesn't do anything for anyone if it gets buried in new. Gotta get people to read the post.

Assume you have an idea you think is valuable for people on the sub to be aware of. Of course you title and write it in a grandiose way. It's all about presentation.

People won't see this but it's correct. While I didn't go as far as saying my post is the most important thing in this sub or anything dumb, you have to make it enticing to read otherwise it's a wasted effort typing any post if it just gets buried.

I know what you're saying man. People act like this is you in conversation. It's because they're used to reddit being a very casual informal place. Reddit posts aren't especially high stakes, but that doesn't mean you can't get your point across in a rhetorically compelling way

Read the title again? I said I THINK that SOME people might find it important.

There's always a percentage of people that hate being told what to think, which fair enough, but nobody is telling you what to think so relax. It's a reddit post.

Just downvote and move on. Like these comments, my replies will be subjected to the people that can't make the post score plummet so they attack the comments. It's whatever.

Downvote and move on? You do have an entitlement issue buddy. I’m grateful to u/AGI_69 for typing out what I was too lazy to, and call you out on your grandiose nothingburger.

AdditionalPizza OP t1_izzwlhb wrote

Why does telling them to down vote me and move on imply I have an entitlement issue?

The issue here is some people, typically the exact type that say the term nothingburger, get obsessed with being "told what to think" when there's a button that states you disagree and you're free to click it.

There's no need to personally attack people over a reddit post about the future of AI that clearly some people enjoyed.

I for one needed this post as the final push to get me off my ass and start working with these tools srsly. These guys are haters for no reason

Thanks.

Nothing new, there's some people that follow this sub just to comment stuff like this. They're comment history often has aggressiveness and a bully mentality.

Same type of people who are gonna keep denying automation until they lose their own job

AdditionalPizza OP t1_j01bt80 wrote

Yup. It's usually programmers and web developers. I have nothing against those careers, but they seem to be the most vocal in a lot of futurism/AI discussions. Meanwhile they will be first in line to go, and physical labour will probably be one of the last sectors remaining.

Most programmers are aware that the barrier to entry for programming is going to plummet soon, but some people think their career and skillset is more essential and important than everyone else's. I didn't check, but I would bet at least one of the negative comments here are from a developer. It's the same as in person, like 1 in 10 of them have a superiority complex that's absolutely toxic for everyone else.

Yeah lol I work as a devops engineer intern and when I showed my team the tools that they can use to streamline stuff and basically automate all their daily tasks they didn’t even bother to listen and laughed it off saying it’s never as good as the human. Well hope they’re still laughing cuz I’m on Reddit while they’re coding away cuz I’ve already finished my tasks

Haha that's a perfect real-time example of the clueless nature of some people. Which, to each their own I guess.
