"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.

The only thing I have found useful about Ai is it's ability to quickly fill in documents with slop to make it seem like I spent more time and effort on it. Usually something like, I put it together with major points and frame work, then give to Ai to slop it up and format it. Then proof it and send it out. It's also good for note taking and transcripts.
Other than that it seems like it's just another form of control because now it can search data and make decisions quickly and cheaply now. This means that things that weren't worth making time for in the past can just be given to Ai to track. In fact my company is playing around with using Ai to track our progress on projects so that the PMs don't have to interact with engineers directly. I would also bet that it will be used to assess performance in future annual performance reviews.
Companies are also hoping to get rid of employees that perform those menial tasks that support staff do and get rid of employees that do tasks that they believe don't require specialized skills or talents.
