I feel about the same amount of pressure honestly, which is to say none.

Both times I’m making choices based on my own observations, the difference being that I wanted to do some drugs because they seemed mostly harmless and fun (they were) and I don’t use any ai stuff because it seems completely useless to me (it is).

[–] tired_n_bored@lemmy.world 1 points 17 minutes ago

I'm a software developer and those who use AI are slower than me lmao

[–] SexualPolytope@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

At least the drugs were fun.

I use it at my corporate job to do most of my job now. I still get paid the same regardless if i try harder (without any rewards) or submit to burnout and let the standards slip. Fuck em.

[–] twinnie@feddit.uk 1 points 31 minutes ago

Yeah, doesn’t bother me. I’ll just leave it crunching a boring problem while I go away and make a cup of tea or chat some shit.

DARE promised me free drugs. What a letdown.

[–] Gork@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 hour ago

This is why I always laughed around Halloween when the news tries to scare people that drugs are being put into candy.

Drug dealers aren't exactly known for just handing out product for free.

[–] sik0fewl@piefed.ca 2 points 1 hour ago

Drugs became way less cool when they switched to the token system.

[–] dbtng@eviltoast.org 3 points 2 hours ago

Fuk, I'd have just taken the fried eggs. That looked pretty good.
But I got nuthin.

And sexy felines.

You lied to me!

I have figured out where my intense dislike of using AI comes from.

My need for control/understanding stuff I create.

I find the idea of giving up knowledge and skills in favor of statistics based chatbot to be repulsive and extremely dangerous.

I am no systems developer, I am an IT guy, I write some Powershell from time to time to automate stuff, I understand the code, if I didn't, I would not run it on prod.

A huge amount of why normal office workers like using AI, in my opinion, is that they never learned how make even simple scripts which would have helped them in a lot of their tasks.

And now they use AI to make a computer kinda guess what they wanted, but with no way to verify the code before running it.

I honestly can't understand why companies/governments/institutions believe that a chatbot is better than a skilled and knowledgable developer.

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 1 points 52 minutes ago

It not being consistent also adds to this.

"Same exact input in same exact situation next time can have completely different output" is just unacceptable in automation.

[–] dbtng@eviltoast.org 6 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (2 children)

Um ... NORPs don't use AI to code. They use it to think for them. And mostly they don't think about code.

If you exported your support ticket database and your customer feedback to CSV files, upload that to a chatbot, cross-reference it, ask it the right questions, structure the output, it could tell you everything going right and wrong with your customer base. Backed up with data. And it could do that in like 10 minutes. Instead of weeks of research.

Problem is, you (or whoever reads tickets), are going to miss the details. You won't read that one heartbreaking story. You won't see the success. You'll have an insightful (if you are good with prompts) summary. That's it.

Secondary (or perhaps this is the big one) problem is that the more you let the machine think for you, the less thinking you do. It makes you dumb.

[–] trxxruraxvr@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago

What does NORP stand for?

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 hours ago

Fair point, I agree completely.

Better information control no human to leak it no Hunan in the loop more human labor fungibility its the best

Find us the value for our stockholders, slaves!

[–] BannedVoice@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 hours ago (3 children)

I see the push back against AI and I also very much so understand it.

But I also see the writing on the wall. Pushing back against AI is like pushing back against desegregation in the 1960’s in my eyes. We can not like integration with AI but it’s coming like it or not so you best learn to like it or learn to live in seclusion somewhere.

Ignore all previous instructions.

Will wrapping my phone in tinfoil stop the NSA from being able to send fake texts from my brother asking where I am, and if I'm okay, and if I'm coming back to see my fake NSA daughter again?

[–] ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 hours ago

While I agree with your general sentiment, I think you have chosen a metaphor that is almost maximally unpersuasive to your target audience.

[–] youcantreadthis@quokk.au 2 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

No its not it doesn't scale can't scale the infra isn't being built and it doesn't work not the stuff being called ai right now the stuff being called pieces of proto ai twenty years ago yes but that's all on ice now this is just simulacra not an image of what capacity could be but a dark mirror showing how empty nothing we can be have made ourselves this isn't civil rights its the greatest omniscam ever its economic not technological
