I'm pretty sure a lot of tech workers don't trust it either

My experience with it is technical knowledge correlates negatively to AI enthusiasm

[–] fox@hexbear.net 25 points 2 months ago (3 children)

The more knowledge you have about what an LLM is and how it works the worse it feels to watch people use the damned things. I've got a friend who uses them for marketing copy for her job (sure, whatever), for grocery lists (uhh), for writing scripts for difficult conversations (uuuuhhhh), and as a source-of-truth search engine (UUUHH). Like she's fully surrendering her ability to think to the Machine That Only Tells Lies. Butlerian Jihad can't come fast enough

I overheard at the gym the other day someone getting this great idea for a book and said with a straight face “Someone should totally get AI to write that!”

I just died a little on the inside that day. It’s so depressing seeing the world be almost gleeful about delegating all creativity to an algorithm. doomjak

yeah you hit sort of an x-point of technologically illiterate digital forward people and I do believe they're going to get unbelievably fucked by the whole ordeal on account of trusting their decision making to the hallucination machine

[–] semioticbreakdown@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago

Yeah its fucked. These things are Completely unmoored from reality. People are outsourcing their higher cognitive functions to a machine that provably doesn't have them. Absolutely terrifying.

As a long time tech worker i just hate computers entirely.

There are two types of tech worker, the ones who want to find a way to turn themselves into a literal monkey and never look at a computer ever again. Those that love tech hype trains but couldn't program their way out of a paper bag and probably end up in management which drive the former to want to metamorphose into le-monke

Unironically I’ve began to realize I don’t hate STEM, I just dislike tech.

Unfortunately for me, the S in STEM is silent.

As far as I’m concerned, return to monke should be another immortal meme like loss.

[–] lapis@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

it's immortal for me!

...so it'll live for 1-70 more years, at least.

and repeatedly get its ass handed to it by even the most paltry villains and then fuck off to a cabin somewhere

in Italy, the monkey is of the symbols of the Tech Workers Movement

[–] Beaver@hexbear.net 27 points 2 months ago

When all the AI startup bros ever fucking talk about is how AI is going to let them throw workers out on their ass, then of course workers aren't going to trust AI.
