"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.

AI is great! I work in programming and when I got thrown into this project ... AI went down for two hours and I was in a rush so I asked my coworkers that have been working on a project for four weeks how auth worked they and had no idea, they didn't know how the application fucking worked, nor what we used redis or the db for or any of this shit. It's so good losing the respect of my all my coworkers! /s
I had a call today with a coworker, he literally took screenshots of a backoffice webpage to ask claude where he should click to troubleshoot his issue.
Even if AI was literally perfect (lmfao), how could it even know what features a private backoffice works?
People used to dislike engineers because we asked for clear instructuons, now they have a machine that will slop thrir instructions into some result -- any result -- and even the engineers are using it as a replacement for thinking for even the most minute task
Or when you just try to set up the local dev environment and that shit doesn't work because they added some bearer tokens needed for auth to a Claude.md file that I obviously didn't read.
