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.

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.

I'm a sr. devops engineer and I abhor this shit.

I don't really know what to do. Considering a career change. I'm trying to use my company ERP to talk to a counselor about my feelings around all of this.

Our current state of things is one of blind compliance where people are using AI to generate slop that will be evaluated by a different AI. No one is really doing much anymore at all. It feels like things are over. As people "embrace" AI (as they're told to do), they're literally training their own eventual replacements. It doesn't matter that things aren't there yet, they're starting to get replaced by the shit that's in use now.

I'm pretty confident ERP isn't "erotic role play" here but I'm not sure what it is.

You never know, companies are always looking for new ways to fuck their employees.

Usually ERP means Enterprise Resource Planning but I think they meant EAP, Employee Assistance Program. EAPs are usually free short term counseling provided by your employer.

Fuck... yea, I meant EAP.
