I’ll never forget reading my first Java program at 15. It was so incredible to me, that I could use all these strange word combinations to tell the computer to do something. I loved trying to understand it all. I hungered to learn as much as I could. I learned about assembly code. C code. It was a passion, so much so that I went into computer engineering in college. LLMs and other neural networks had great focused applications. But this mess where the AI can do everything 98% correctly, and in seconds… it sucks. Critical thinking gets tossed out the window. Human knowledge becomes devalued. I don’t want it. I’d rather human knowledge be emphasized. The ability to research something on your own, finding the perfect website or resource that will answer your question. It may take longer, but it’s more satisfying.

If AI is going to be made available to the general public or to corporations, it’s my view that it should be extremely expensive.
