computers are wonderful things.
and you should use less of them.
stop putting computers in things.

been annoyed by "AI" hype for years, I think it's time to give up and accept the popular use of "anything impressive-seeming a computer can do"

so:

- I use Haskell's stong AI to catch my dumb programming mistakes.
- Apt uses AI to automatically satisfy an applications requirements
- Wireshark's network traffic analysis AI
- My fridge is controlled by a custom AI that allows it to run more efficiently from solar power

Man, there a LOT of Trans/anti-trans threads on my TL today.
For the record: I do think trans people exist and if they think that as an individual that transitioning is the best thing for them, then I don't see any reason why they shouldn't be able to and I'm happy to respect their identity, pronouns, whatever.
I do however, think that it's something that shouldn't be pushed on people, especially children, who it might not necessarily be the best decision for, and I'm very weary about hormonal treatment etc. for kids under 18, although It's something that I would still take on a case-by-case basis.
Part of this is because of personal experienced in my life, being a rather feminine male who did at one point in his life think he was trans himself. It took me time to come to terms with the fact that I was a male who had a naturally feminine tendency and perhaps an interest in crossdressing. If I had made the decision to do anything permanent with my body I would have massively regretted it, and I am worried about other people like me who had similar feelings (especially when they're younger) but instead of working through them on a personal, individual, level, getting immediately diagnosed as trans and making permanent decisions that can't be undone.
I don't think any of this is especially controversial or hateful towards anyone, but I have a feeling that people on both sides of this issue on fedi are going to take issue with it.
