AI DOOMERS BE LIKE: 'GLM 5.1 WILL WIPE OUT HUMANS IN 2030'

I swear some AI doomers have never actually used a local model. They watched one flashy keynote, one YouTube thumbnail with a guy making this face 😱, read three headlines, and suddenly civilization is over by next Tuesday. Meanwhile I am over here trying to get my agent to reliably rename files without deciding halfway through that it should explain the history of folders. People keep saying things like: "AI will replace every programmer." Brother... I spent forty five minutes convincing my model that yes, I really did want it to read the PDF instead of writing a poem about PDFs. These same people will tell you AGI is six months away. Have you actually built anything with local AI? Not "I downloaded Ollama and asked it for a brownie recipe." I mean actually built something. Ran local models. Built agents. Hooked up tools. Used RAG. Added vision. Added speech. Made it automate real work. Spent six hours debugging why your agent forgot what it was doing because one tool returned an unexpected comma. The people screaming the loudest about AI taking everyone's jobs usually fall into one of three groups. People selling AI. People writing clickbait articles. People whose entire AI experience comes from screenshots on X. Meanwhile the rest of us are over here celebrating because our agent successfully completed three tasks in a row without opening seventeen browser tabs and forgetting why it existed. AI is amazing. AI is getting better incredibly fast. But there is a huge difference between what works in a polished demo and what happens at 2:13 AM when your local agent decides the best way to organize your files is to create a folder called "Final Final Really Final Version." Anyone else feel like the people with the strongest opinions about AI have spent the least amount of time actually building with it? submitted by /u/Times_Hours [link] [comments]
