I actually never liked this field, I’m just into coding, but somehow I ended up here. I know people hate on AI, and justifiably so. Just wanted to clear some things out for those interested in whats, hows and whys of it, as best as I can.

    This would have been funnier if all your replies were unrelated responses from chatgbt.

    "Why did you start in the field?

    Wow, what a great question, let me find that recipe for pickle pancakes."

      I started in the field cuz it’s easier to gather veggies there… Like, pickles, right? Aight, bad joke. You actually reminded me that I don’t even remember why I started doing AI. I do remember tho, that when the uni offered some extra lessons on AI I was like “why would I do that, I hate this AI trend, gimme cybersecurity”

        That’s a good dad joke, don’t apologise. Although, it does bring up questions about your understanding of the pickleling process.

        Thanks for answering the question inside my joke, as much as my original comment was shitposting, you seem to be actually answering people.

        It seems you’re not an ai advocate, why not pivot into a different direction in the same/similar field?

          Nope, I definitely don’t want to pressure any one to use AI. I genuinely don’t understand the point of it.

          As for a possible pivot. As the saying goes “if it works, don’t break it”. So I work. The job itself is definitely not the worst, actually the best in terms of conditions and benefits I’ve ever had. I actually enjoy the process of coding itself, doesn’t really matter whether I do backend or machine learning or devops. I have background in data science, and AI is basically a glorified data science, so I guess it kinda fits my initial skill set
