Yeah nah. The tech is pretty impressive but it can’t replace more entry level jobs than can be achieved with pre-ai technology. Treat it like a tool and find use cases that make sense. I’d like to see small, efficient, specialized local models to help with doing basic or repetitive stuff.
It's so bizarre working in software development for a non-tech company.
Management is like "can you use it to automate X?" And my answer is almost always "No. It will do an unreliable job of that. But if you want X automated just TELL me that's what you want and I can seriously automate it for you in a day or two by just writing a tool"
Nope.
It blows my mind how much Management doesn't give two fucking shits about the RESULT. They ONLY want to be able to tell shareholders that something was accomplished USING AI.
I feel you. Can’t wait for AI to go the way of the blockchain :)
