If the AI post in-question is Wifi not working (dual-boot Windows 10 Pro + Fedora 37) - #4 by mattdm then heck no. That’s a wall of time-waste, and I’d ban anyone throwing that or anything remotely like that as a “solution” on a discussion forum (which wasn’t even a solution or any troubleshooting). I felt like I was going through Meta’s bs VR support reading that
If I see that widespread here, I’ll find another community. I am quite against others involving time-wasting AI if I’m looking for a solution. I can understand it being kind of a warm-welcome though, but that should be only shown to that user, and nobody else on the thread (unless they opt-in to hear AI text I guess).
If people want to get answers from AI, they can plug it into whatever the hot AI thing is they want. Why would I want others doing that for me?
Or maybe keep it only in casual forum areas. Not tech support. I’m here to find solutions for issues, and occasionally provide hand-typed solutions to others. AI has no place with that. I’d expect that from Ubuntu or anyone else before Fedora.
That’s all anyone would need to do it, and it wastes the time of anyone else who has to read that wall of bs. If I want to hear AI results, I can get my own AI results, and likewise anyone else can do it to; LMGTFY. Wasting my time with AI gets a nice chew out, and my questioning of the community that allows it.
I may feed info to AI indirectly, but I’m certainly not open to participating in it. If Fedora introduced AI to the distro or even hinted at it with a proposal (something like Copilot), I’d distro hop immediately and eventually start dropping anything I use RH/IBM. Even toying with the idea of allowing AI on the discussion forum has me concerned. The rest below is just more ranting
AI is just like MTX in games. Starts off innocent, and every new item has to out-shine the previous for sales, leading to P2W, loot boxes, and other nonsense. Windows 11 is barely feature-comparable to 10 and they’re focusing on integrating AI. Meanwhile VR is still inconsistent on W11 23H2, just like the initial W11 release, and pre-releases before that. Heck I’m sure they’ll locally AI-generate Cortana as Bonzi buddy on the desktop before allowing me to hide the clock in the taskbar again (like W10 and older did). Somehow AI has priority over high-end video/gaming hardware and basic features. Linux can’t even get people on-board for Wayland, because that’s inconsistent and feature-incomplete too regardless of what people have been saying for years and today. Everyone seems to like Meta’s move fast break stuff stance, which is silly on operating systems.
AI is unstable, inconsistent, and as already shown full of hot air and fluff. Putting that onto an operating system doesn’t fly right with me (still questioning unstable OOM killer), and luckily Linux is full of other choices.
