when did we have that

i want some edamame

so before we even get to the point where AI thinks in a superhuman way (that is to say, at any significant degree of complexity) about AI itself, first we have a phase where the AI we eventually accidentally fell into is allowing us to make things with computers for the first time-- aka "vibecoding"

never mind AI, we've been resisting COMPUTING as a whole, we DON'T use general purpose computers, only "developers" use even slightly general purpose computing, most people use computing to simulate something much simpler that they're able to feel in control of it ,, computers as such never happened

my intuition is that the problem with more complex models isn't the models, it's the humans, we're simple,, neural networks & the GPUs to run them got so cheap that we made AI in spite of ourselves-- notice how few people thought it would work even now, we mostly still didn't want to bother to do it
