"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?

Really, it depends. With good observability and the know how to make the LLM read the correct data from an MCP connected to the observably platform, you can zero in on the cause of a complicated incident very quickly. That said, there are a lot of issues that just can’t be solved, or even discovered this way. Typically, I put on my detective hat and get as much info as possible, then lean in on the help when I get stuck. I’ve found using them as a tool rather than an answer machine to be the best way around this. More often than not, I find the answer before the tool becomes the next logical step.
