Do any non-corpos actually like AI slop? (lemmy.world)

I've found that AI has done literally nothing to improve my life in any way and has really just caused endless frustrations. From the enshitification of journalism to ruining pretty much all tech support and customer service, what is the point of this shit?

I work on the Salesforce platform and now I have their dumbass account managers harassing my team to buy into their stupid AI customer service agents. Really, the only AI highlight that I have seen is the guy that made the tool to spam job applications to combat worthless AI job recruiters and HR tools.

I like it for more obscure things where the context is needed to filter out results because the words themselves get too many hits.

But I've also had issues with accuracy, like asking for help with syntax for an obscure scripting language application (think like lua where a specific context added an API and wanting information about that API).

It seemed like it knew what it was talking about, but turns out none of the syntax it gave were real argument names, they couldn't be split up into seperate lines like it claimed, and the way scope worked was off. Though it was enough to get me to a decent place where correcting everything didn't take very long.

Edit: I also like to use it to fact check comments before I post them. You can just copy paste the comment and ask it to comment on the accuracy to add a quick but basic peer review.

Yeah absolutely don't just paste in IDE and hit compile, but it usually gets you going in the right direction even if it gets some of the specifics wrong. Sometimes I don't even know what to call the concept I'm looking for and describe my understanding of what I want in a fair amount of detail. Goofle can do fuckall with that, whereas GPT will say "It sounds like you probably mean..." and at least give me a starting point or a phrase to search in the docs.
