"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.

Hello all, long time lurker, sometimes poster. In my line of work some of my co workers seem eager to turn to the clanker to get an instant answer to any road block. I feel its better to problem solve the old fashioned way. With some good old research and finding a blog that is not AI slop LOL. Do those of you in a support role find any peer pressure to use LLMs?

I feel bad for anyone who has to do support. I also feel bad for anyone that is forced into using Windows 11.

If an AI tool lets support teams paste whatever random error Windows AI slop has created for end users and get the fix in a few seconds rather than reading post after post of snark and bad theories on stack overflow - I’m actually 100% on board with that. That’s not at all the problem I have with AI. I get no sense of satisfaction having wasted any time or energy googling shit that the person that needs help can’t google themselves. Also, like I said, I feel bad for folks that do nothing but support.

I don't have issues with people who ask for support.

Now when people use an llm to draft messages to you, and insist that the hallucination is correct, it's infuriating. You also get people asking to implement policies that have never had some one sanity check them.

One was a policy that required support to first id people using teams before a password reset. How are they doing that without getting logged in? Nevermind that we don't have a database of people's pictures as we were external.

Yes before the llm nonsense the worst unfinished forum posts that didn't really describe the solution
