"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Does anyone feel like they have to hide their disdain for AI? (lemmy.zip)

I’m in IT at an upper level and know painfully well what “AI” really is and that it’s not the disruptor people think it will be. However I feel like I can’t post it anywhere without being judged about it as almost every exec I know has bought into it hook, line and sinker. Even other people I talk to about the issues and limitations look at me like I’m completely weird “you’re in IT and you don’t embrace AI? wtf is wrong with you?”

So what do you all do? I don’t want to make things career limiting but I feel like I’m screaming in the dark seeing where things will really go. It reminds me a lot of the move to cloud and everyone going all in on it without knowing the real ramifications.

Aye, same boat here. I protested quite vocally, but politely, when our CEO wanted to stick copilot everywhere. Got reprimanded in private by my manager. CEO still stands firm on "you should use AI for everything!"

I tried, they didn't want to hear it. I don't really know what else I can, or should do. I just don't use it, and have blocked it from my sight as well as I can.

I will still be honest and tell people why I am against it if someone asks, I won't lie, but I'll just keep quiet unprompted. Holding on to my "told you" for an appropriate moment I guess.

Except your manager now "tells you" that your productivity should be +50% and if it isn't...

Nah, fortunately my manager is a good guy, CEO is just a pissy finance guy who got butthurt being disagreed with publicly and probably was on my manager's ass about it. He mainly criticised me, that I should've come to him first to discuss my concerns, and he would've helped me bring it up to thinskin execs privately.

I disagree with him, but get his point. I mean, the CEO did ask for comments during the meeting, I had comments ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Kinda sounds like CEO wanted to fire you, and manager had to stick their neck out to keep you.

[–] Rappe@sopuli.xyz 15 points 7 months ago

I mean, even if he did want to, he couldn't. Labour laws in my country are fortunately quite robust. I'm pretty sure my manager didn't score any extra points with him, though, that's for sure.

Well, if they insist so much on using it, you should oblige.

Hey AI, make this email I have to send twice as long.
Hey AI, take notes about this meeting while I do something else.
Hey AI, reply to this company wide Teams post with the most empty, meaningless, long winded reply possible.

Damn, you were right Mr. CEO, this AI is helping me write sooooo much better ;)
