Let me explain why I’m writing this
First and foremost, we must discuss the development of AI. It’s fair to say that the creation of this blog itself was “promoted” by AI. Initially, I had a need to learn about AI, which led me to technical forums. After encountering domain names in various technical posts, I started tinkering with them. Once I had a domain name, to avoid wasting the money I spent, I began building this blog… Although technically this blog has nothing to do with AI, how can we say it wasn’t ultimately built with the “promotion” of AI?
Anxiety Brought by AI
Speaking of the impact of AI, as someone whose profession is closely related to software programming, I have indeed felt the panic it brings. Especially for me, whose technical skills may not be entirely solid, seeing the development of AI like this has indeed created an anxiety about being replaced. Before the big models evolved to their current state, I might have thought that relying on my education and programming skills, being a well-paid programmer would be the ideal situation. Although there’s the “35-year-old crisis,” I could still maintain my job by gradually improving step by step. However, the technology of large-scale models has now surpassed my own technical accumulation. Even more frightening is that the speed of progress in large-scale models far exceeds my own. If I were to “put myself” in the shoes of capitalists, I would also consider using AI to replace these average-level entry-level employees. Moreover, seeing that Vibecoding has genuinely improved productivity, I’ve developed an anxiety about not being able to fully utilize Vibecoding’s capabilities: I’ve only mastered the basic technology, lack the ability to design an architecture that allows AI to fully utilize its capabilities, lack the ability to identify potential errors and vulnerabilities in AI programming, and am unwilling to delegate all work to AI, only accepting the results of AI programming myself.
Solution? Ostrich!
So what can be done? There may not be a good solution at present; the only option is to maintain an optimistic attitude. On the bright side, my reluctance to delegate all work to AI and simply accept its results can be seen as a sign of my continued passion and desire for deep learning technologies. I must also fully embrace the changes brought about by technology, constantly exploring the boundaries of my abilities—for example, the creation of this blog (though it doesn’t necessarily showcase my technical skills). Simultaneously, I should utilize advanced tools to improve my productivity, such as using Doubao’s voice input instead of typing, and using large models to handle the dirty work and check for errors in code editing. And importantly, I must not abandon my own thinking, nor let large models replace my own. Maintaining the vitality of my mind is crucial; the process of writing a blog is also a way to train myself and force myself to keep thinking.
Mutual Encouragement
In high school, I really liked the saying, “stay hungry, stay foolish,” but unfortunately, I haven’t adhered to it. In the current environment, I need to add two more: “Stay optimistic, stay thoughtful.” I hope I can achieve this.
