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.

It me.

I’ve been pretending to use AI to appease my bosses for months. They tell me they can really see the difference it’s made in my productivity!

I made sure I got them to pay for my personal account so they can’t check my actual usage.

Every month I try out the same prompt about HTML email bugs for funzies just to read the incorrect hilarity. I try to at least know the UI so I could pull it up if I ever had to do something on a screen share. Hasn’t come up yet.
