"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.

My team has been trying for years to get apps for internal use and we have waited for IT to either buy or make something. One day I just said, "fuck it" and started building the tools we need. I'm not anywhere near done, but the team has started using them, and it's increasing productivity.

So someone thanked me for coding the tools, and I said, "I'm not really coding. I'm more acting as a product manager. I gathered the requirements from the users, brought it to the developer team, and act as the go between." I think that's the best analogy. And like a product manager, I have to take on faith that the devs are doing what I ask without being stupid.
