"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.

What a crock of shit. We all know that's what they want, but it's not happening.

[–] assembly@lemmy.world 23 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Until the AI results can be trusted, I don’t see how this happens. I’ve been using AI for some questions that would normally be on stackoverflow but I don’t find code generation to save me time. Because I can’t implicitly trust the product, I still have to review the code before I can use it. If I have to review and understand it, it rarely saves me time. There have been edge cases where it helped me in some areas, like turning a CSV into a visual report in PDF format but I still had to review everything. It just happens that I suck as report tools so it was a shorter amount of time for me to review the AI report than to put together visualizations myself.

I'd offer a small correction: that ain't happening as long as companies are liable for the AI's work. If companies can just blame the model and get away with a fine that's less than the savings, they absolutely will take that deal. Keep companies accountable and the bubble will burst

You're not using it correctly. You're supposed to vibecode the entire application by defining good parameters. You don't debug or fix stuff, you just iterate. You just make a new application with revised parameters.

If you tell the LLM "this is bad, make it better", it will have the bad thing im it's context and it will therefor try to make the bad thing again.

Instead, if it makes a mistake,you throw out the whole thing and start over witg revised parameters.

This will save us money in the short run. In the long run... who cares.

You forgot "/s" I tried that a few times. With and without welling what's wrong. After 3-5 times it gives you the first solution it offered. Tell them that and it ignores it.

It’s always in the next 6 months, 12 months, and then time passes and the claim keeps getting remade.

They just want investment hype.

[–] thisisbutaname@discuss.tchncs.de 24 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Just 6 more months bro, trust me. Please bro just 6 more month and it'll happen bro

[–] lurker@awful.systems 7 points 3 weeks ago

just one more data centre's gonna do it! just give me a couple million more bucks!

[–] Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 3 weeks ago

Tesla will drive autonomously soon, before 2018, promise.

[–] nonentity@sh.itjust.works 63 points 3 weeks ago (12 children)
  1. No it won’t.
  2. Anyone who frames LLMs as ‘intelligence’ is betraying they don’t understand what they’re talking about.
  3. Any work a LLM can perform effectively is work no human should be performing.

They are right. If Microsoft keeps using AI to develop their products there will be no more jobs at Microsoft.

[–] jaredwhite@humansare.social 39 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Stop making "AI can replace humans" happen. It's not gonna happen!

[–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

fr I've been reading headlines like this for years now, and LLMs are still shit at doing anything other than produce things that superficially look good but rarely stand up to close inspection.

No, no, no!

Keep trying, Microsoft!

Just put a couple more hundreds of billions into it!

Don't trust the naysayers - you're almost there!

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 37 points 3 weeks ago

Well it certainly is wiping out Microsoft, so he is not wrong

[–] GrindingGears@lemmy.ca 34 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Fuel that bubble, bud. It's running out of soap.

"AI is going to do this very big thing" - someone heavily invested in AI.

This isn't a warning, this is a sales pitch.

Let's start with this Microslop AI chief.

[–] Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone 23 points 3 weeks ago

It’s hilarious how the AI-pushing CEOs have determined that the best way of selling more subscriptions is to act like a terrified chihuahua pissing itself because of how super strong and scary they pretend their product is.

[–] eestileib@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 points 3 weeks ago

How about you make your OS able to update itself without bricking then we can talk about revolutionizing the world, eh?

[–] thedeadwalking4242@lemmy.world 21 points 3 weeks ago

And I do not say this lightly

HAHAHAHAHA

What a load of shit. Start with your shitty C suit executives

[–] mech@feddit.org 18 points 3 weeks ago

"...so you'd better not ask for a raise!" is the unspoken addition to that quote.

[–] unspeakablehorror@thelemmy.club 16 points 3 weeks ago

When is media gonna recognize all of the people saying this stuff are AI company CEOs

[–] Akh@lemmy.world 14 points 3 weeks ago

The same Chief who said they needed to find something useful with their product or risk public backlash?

Counter point: It won't.

This is like being told you could win $100M when you're handed a lottery ticket. There is a lot of weight on the word "could."

Except in this case the lottery doesn't exist, the ticket is a fake, and we're all about to be screwed when the bubble bursts.

So, in a way, he's right. A lot of white collar (and blue collar and no collar) jobs could be gone in 12 months, due to the AI bubble popping. Nice of him to put his name out there now so we know who's to blame.

[–] groucho 12 points 3 weeks ago

Let's replace him with an AI. Let's hang an ugly leather jacket up in a datacenter and replace Jensen Huang while we're at it.

News nowadays:

  • Highly paid football team coach says: "Football is the greatest game in the World".
[–] Ludicrous0251@piefed.zip 9 points 3 weeks ago

Mmhmm yes, snake oil salesman, tell me more about how your snake oil is going to cure capitalism. I believe you.

[–] redlemace@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

So he's searching a blue-collar position now? I've heard farmers are short-handed, so if he got his papers in order ......

[–] Jaysyn@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

While it's true anyone that has asked an LLM a question about a field they are an expert in knows this is bullshit, your bosses boss can likely be convinced otherwise.

[–] brendansimms@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

is he talking about his own job?

Another, "trust me, bro" article to keep that bubble pumped just another week

How is this different from what they all claimed 3 years ago:

He claimed that this AI model will be able to do almost everything a human professional does. adding that it will allow Microsoft to offer powerful AI tools to clients that can automate routine tasks for knowledge workers.

The only "difference" I see is that now they are calling it "Professional Grade AI"... I guess they were just pumping out the "amateur grade AI" until now

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 6 points 3 weeks ago

Hahahahahaha. My firm is so overworked thanks to work cleaning aftwr AI related fuckups that we are often triple booked or more.

If this keeps up, gray beards are going to retire in luxury thanks to this AI bullshit.

[–] dis_da_mor@anarchist.nexus 6 points 3 weeks ago

hey microsoft

🖕

sincerely, everyone

[–] 30p87@feddit.org 6 points 3 weeks ago

Luckily, another fact is true: AGI (A guy instead (with a gun)@) could wipe out the Microsoft AI chief within 12 months too!

[–] user28282912@piefed.social 6 points 3 weeks ago

... Says the person whose entire net worth is entirely determined by how much AI bullshit and myth he can spread around amongst the rubes.... I was recently sent this absolute fever dream which itself was poorly generated by AI for maximum irony.

[–] Coyote_sly@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

....said some dumbass executive, while masturbating furiously at the fantasy.
