Let's leverage the key learnings into win-win scenarios by applying state of the art technologies to create shareholder value!

[–] truthfultemporarily@feddit.org 24 points 1 week ago (1 children)

But have you involved all relevant stakeholders?

[–] AstralPath@lemmy.ca 18 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Might need to circle back on that one.

[–] LordMayor@piefed.social 11 points 1 week ago

Needs more synergies.

[–] mech@feddit.org 6 points 1 week ago

I just wanted flag this for you

[–] a_postmodern_hat@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Thanks all.

[–] RollingZeppelin@piefed.ca 7 points 1 week ago

Don't forget to ideate solutions so we can down select for optimal performance.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

Are we no longer doing synergy?

[–] sunbrrnslapper@lemmy.world 68 points 1 week ago (5 children)

So helpful. Gemini once summarized a VM from my kid (who is autistic and doesn't speak super well) as a "long, rambling and incoherent message" with no attempt to decipher what was said. We will not be replaced by AI anytime soon.

[–] Cris_Color@lemmy.world 29 points 1 week ago

What a novel way for google to accomplish something kinda fucked up. The applications of ai truly know no bounds

"long, rambling and incoherent message"

Now I am genuinely curious how would AI summarise Trump speaches 😂

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 9 points 1 week ago

If AI was reliably accurate it would be [incoherent dementia ranting]

[–] JetpackJackson@feddit.org 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Wtf that's messed up. I'm sorry that happened to yall. That's very dehumanizing

[–] sunbrrnslapper@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Thanks! It was pretty funny - even at the time. Although, yeah, pretty dehumanizing.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

I mean, it’s AI. It doesn’t even know what it is.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 week ago (2 children)

summarized a VM

A virtual machine? Is it still fun to dereference jargon the first time it's mentioned?

[–] YerbaYerba@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 week ago

Voice mail?

[–] pishadoot@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

I think it's verbal meltdown?

[–] MotoAsh@piefed.social 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

lol Yes we will. Many have already been replaced.

People NEED to realize how stupid and greedy capitalists are...

It doesn't have to be even comparable to the employee's actual output to replace them. It just has to make executives think it can, and since when did executives ever actually understand what they're employees do or how hard it is?

They're so deep in the ELIZA effect that they thoroughly believe this kind of problem is as easy as adding a couple instructions to fix.

It’s just a data grab on open ai’s part

[–] agavaa@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

Oh, absolutely. Some coworkers don't understand it though.

[–] laranis@lemmy.zip 20 points 1 week ago

How long until the meeting content is condensed into a score that is used on performance reviews?

"Well, Bob, you're a diligent worker and your output is on par with your peers, but your Teams Meeting Quality Quotient is sub par. Among other things the Facilitator(TM) has noted a tendency to not use the entire allotted meeting time, and that the actions it automatically identified aren't being marked complete on the Teams AI Task Board. That looks really bad. It also says your meetings have 12% higher off topic content than your peers citing an increase to 15% correlating with March Madness. Though it is notable that the 60/40 split of male/female voices speaking is above the company mandate of 70/30, so that's good."

Now your meetings that should have been and email are sent as an email

[–] cronenthal@discuss.tchncs.de 15 points 1 week ago

Wow, how helpful! Let's spend another trillion on this super-intelligence!

[–] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

Wow. I could code up that "AI" in an afternoon, and I wouldn't even need an LLM for it.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 week ago

Same shit goes on in these meetings forever but now you have to pay a monthly subscription for colour commentary. Only in america.

[–] Pringles@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Facilitator is actually a pretty decent feature. It works pretty well for recurring meetings with a set agenda. The message shown is not very useful, but the automatic notes and summary are usually fairly good.

But that's not something you need an LLM for...

Still more helpful than my PM

[–] angeld@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

Sumarize? A inexistent meet is better than a non necesary meet.
