Open Letter to the Lazy: The tutorial is written, the AI is down, the brain is brought, choose one out of three

This article is written in a very angry tone. If you feel offended after reading it — that’s you.

Disclaimer of Liability: This article is only吐槽rejection of self-learning and ignoring operational risks; I will patiently answer the beginners who have zero foundation and are willing to read the tutorial first. The high-risk commands and operational risks mentioned in the article have been reminded multiple times. If you insist on ignoring the advice and operating privately, the consequences such as data loss and information leakage are borne by yourself.


I. Introduction: A Ordinary Night

At one o’clock in the morning, after posting the Phira tutorial link in the group, I was ready to go to sleep.

Newcomer A: “How do I do this?”

Me: “Read the tutorial, the link has been posted, just follow the steps one by one.”

Newcomer A: “Too long, I’m too lazy to read, can’t you teach me directly?”

Me: “Then use Kimi/豆包/文心一言, take a screenshot and send it to AI, and get a reply in seconds.”

Newcomer A: “I won’t use it, it takes up memory.”

Three hours later.

Newcomer A: “I did what Douba said, but why is it still reporting an error?”

I opened the screenshot and saw that Douba told him to copy rm -rf / and execute it in the terminal.

Me: “……”

I was silent for three minutes, then I opened the blog editor.

I thought this was already the limit.

Until this morning, someone asked me in the group, “I don’t have a browser.”

At that moment, I knew that this open letter needed to be continued.


II. Classic Sayings of the Reach-Handy Party

Before writing this article, I counted the “god-level conversations” I encountered in the past month, and every sentence made my blood pressure soar.

Saying 1: “Too Long to Read”

Me: “The tutorial is 3,000 words long, with seventeen pictures, and every step from downloading to activation is explained.”

Him: “Too long to read, just tell me how to do it.”

Big brother, I wrote it not as the Dream of the Red Chamber, but as a tutorial. When you play games and look at strategies, don’t you get tired of them? Don’t you get tired of scrolling through short videos for three hours? How can you get tired of reading 3,000 words of tutorials?

Suggestion: Divide one-tenth of the energy you spend on Douyin to tutorials, and you would have finished it long ago.

Saying 2: “I’ve searched, but I can’t understand”

Me: “Search online, most have instructions.”

Him: “I’ve searched, but I can’t understand.”

What did you search for? Baidu Knows? CSDN转载? Or a blog from 2018?

Searching and knowing how to search are two different things. Can you not scroll down? Can’t you change keywords? Can’t you look at pictures?

When you take an exam, does the teacher give you points for saying “I can’t understand”?

Saying 3: “Can I do it on my phone?”

Me: “You need a computer to operate.”

Him: “I don’t have a computer, can I do it on my phone?”

Me: “Yes, but it’s ten times more麻烦.”

Him: “Then never mind, it’s too麻烦.”

You have nothing, and you think everything is麻烦, so what do you want?

Am I going to magic up a server for you? Or send a technician to your door?

You can do it on your phone, the tutorial is written, but you think it’s麻烦. You can do it on a computer, but you don’t have one. So how do you want to do it?

Telepathic website building? Brainwave deployment?

Saying 4: “What does this error message mean?”

Him: (Throw a screenshot, full screen red error, resolution 240p, shooting angle 45 degrees oblique, serious reflection)

Me: “……Copy the error message to me.”

Him: “How do I copy?”

I’m begging you.

It’s not difficult to take a clear screenshot, copy the error message, and clearly describe what you did. Are these three things difficult?

When you go to the hospital to see a doctor, and the doctor asks you “Where do you feel uncomfortable,” you say “I feel uncomfortable,” and then turn around and leave. Can the doctor save you?

Saying 5: “Douba said……”

Him: “Douba told me to enter this command.”

Me: “Don’t enter, that’s a delete database command.”

Him: “But Douba said……”

Me: “Douba also said the Earth is flat, do you believe it?”

AI is not a god, AI can also make up stories. Especially Douba, when facing technical problems, its accuracy is about the same as your guess for multiple-choice questions.

You say that you don’t want to download AI because it takes up memory. Turn around and ask Douba, and Douba gives you a bunch of illusions, and you come back to ask me “This is not right.”

I let you download AI so that you can have an answer, not so that you can ask the wrong answer in another place.

Saying 6: “It’s done, thank you”

Him: “It’s done, thank you.”

Me: “How did you do it?”

Him: “I don’t know, just clicked randomly.”

The next day.

Him: “It’s broken again, what happened?”

If you don’t know how you fixed it, then when it breaks next time, won’t you still come to me?

This is not called “done,” this is called “temporarily not exploded.”

The tutorial tells you to remember the steps, and you don’t remember. Let you understand the principle, and you don’t understand. Just click randomly, and if you click it right, it’s luck, and if you click it wrong, it’s my fault.

Do I owe you something?


Saying 7: “I don’t have a browser”

Him: “Um, can you teach me how to enter?”

Me: “I linked it above, just scroll down.”

Him: “Do I need to enter the author’s name?”

Me: “……Copy the link to the browser”

Him: “Can I enter it after copying?”

Me: “No.”

Him: “Then when do I enter this long string of English?”

Me: (Send a screenshot to teach scrolling) “Can’t you copy the content by pressing long?”

Him: “I don’t have a browser.”

Me: “***** I ***** come to tell you what kind of phone you have. If you really can’t, you can ask your phone’s voice assistant, and say open the browser, okay?”

Him: “Sword fighting.”

Sword fighting? My blood pressure has soared to 200, what did I say?

The link has been sent, the screenshot has been given, and I taught you how to copy and paste by hand. In the end, there’s a sentence “I don’t have a browser.”

How did you get into the group without a browser? Are you sending messages by telepathy?

Do you have a Nokia 1100? Can’t download a browser?

Tell me, a phone that can刷Douyin, can play games, and can send a message in the group “Sword fighting,” but doesn’t have a browser?

This is not just a reach-handy party, this is cut-hand party — your hands are cut off, and your brain is also cut off.

Suggestion: Smash your phone, change a brick, at least the brick won’t ask “How do I enter”.


III. The Behavior Cycle Chart of the Reach-Handy Party

I have summarized a standard behavior pattern of the reach-handy party, welcome to identify yourself:

Encounter a problem
    ↓
“Ask in the group”
    ↓
“The tutorial is too long to read”
    ↓
“Let me download AI? No, it takes up memory”
    ↓
“Ask Douba/Baidu Knows/some stranger”
    ↓
“Do the wrong thing, report an error”
    ↓
“Come back to the original blogger, throw a screenshot: what's the matter?”
    ↓
The original blogger is silent/angry/block
    ↓
“This person is really bad-tempered, just ask a question”
    ↓
Go to another group and continue the cycle

This cycle is called a ‘perpetual motion machine’, its power source is others’ patience.’


Chapter 4: Three Words to the Truly Newcomers

If you feel offended after reading this, you are likely one of the types mentioned above.

Don’t rush to反驳, just listen to me say three things:

First: The tutorial is not written for just one person

I write tutorials so that after 100 people read it, 90 of them can figure it out on their own, and the remaining 10 can ask when I can answer collectively.

It’s not to make 100 people not read it, and then 100 people come to PM me.

Your time is valuable, and so is mine.

Second: AI is a tool, not an ornament

Letting you use AI is not to harm you, but to save you.

Kimi, DeepSeek, Wenxin Yiyan, any one of them can answer your questions 24/7, and they won’t be impatient, won’t block you, and won’t roll their eyes at you because you ask silly questions.

Would you rather wait for someone to reply in the group than wait for AI to reply instantly?

Your phone has 256G of memory, TikTok takes up 30G, WeChat takes up 20G, and an AI app takes up only 100M. Do you think that’s too much?

Third: Having a brain is the highest configuration

I’ve said this many times before, but I still need to say it again:

Having a brain is the premise of doing anything, whether it’s a machine, a website, or anything else.

Without a brain, you’ll just rm -rf / even if you’re given a server.

Without a brain, you’ll just skip through tutorials because they’re too long.

Without a brain, you’ll just say ‘doubaosays…’ even if you’re given AI.

This thing called a brain doesn’t cost any money, but you have to grow it yourself.


Chapter 5: Conclusion

I wrote this post not to骂人, but to screen.

Welcome to continue the discussion if you can read it, reflect on it, and change. Feel free to ask questions, I will speak without reservation.

If you feel ‘This person is really bad-tempered’ and then scroll away, take your leave, I wish you find the next innocent victim who is willing to be consumed by you.

Finally, here’s a word for those who ask for handouts:

‘No one will always help you, but there will always be someone who will help you once. Don’t take this one time as forever.’


P.S. If you think ‘This is about me’ after reading this, congratulations, you still have a chance. Go look at the tutorial, read it carefully, it’s a hundred times more useful than sulking here.

P.P.S. If you think ‘This blogger is really arrogant’ — yes, I am arrogant, and I am only arrogant to those who ask for handouts. I lick the feet of those who have a brain.
