I don’t know if you read the article, but in there it says AI is becoming smarter. My comment was a response to that.

Irrespective of that, you raise an interesting point “it’s about the impact AI has on the world”. I’d argue it’s real impact is quite limited (mind you I’m referring to generative AI and specifically LLMs rather than AI generally), it has a few useful applucations, but the emphasis here is on few. However, it’s being pushed by all the big tech companies and those lobbying for them as the next big thing. That’s what’s really leading to the “impact” you’re perceiving.

This means absolutely nothing. It scanned a large amount of text and found something. Great, that’s exactly what it’s supposed to do. Doesn’t mean it’s smart or getting smarter.

I recommend void. It’s rock solid, “stable rolling release”, no systemd, amazing package manager. The installation is a bit more “advanced”, but I guess coming from Arch that should not be a problem for you.
