"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.

I have a simple anwer why managers think its smart and workers things its dumb. The managers see all kinds of documentaion from workers and to them the AI slop look the same. It looks the same due to the fact that the managers never take the time to comprehend what they are reading.
I think it's more that they are faced with a soulless bullshit generator machine with no imagination and no deep understanding, and noticing that it can do most of the work they do. There's a lot of skill overlap with management there. So naturally they would be impressed with it.
Of course it is and its the point of my post.
LLMs look smart if you have no idea what the fuck they're on about. And management is full of Peters.
Without a doubt. The skill set to be in management has nothing to do with intelligence. It has to do with selfish manipulation and no empathy. That way you can be cruel without missing a second of sleep.
