Survey at work asks what AI tools one might be using and how much time I am saving per week. But there is no option to say I don’t use AI.
It’s like in a sci-fi movie, when a crew member realizes they are the only one left that is not infected by the zombie plague.
@tsturm Same here

@fetchezlavache Just last week I for the first time noticed work chat messages in a 1-on-1 conversation where I am 100% sure the other side was cutting & pasting GPT responses into our chat.
Surrounded by zombies.
@tsturm I noticed a few years ago that a contractor was sounding very strange in email conversations. Overy optimistic and extremely explainable for being a supposedly very buzy company. It was a very creepy way of talking for a swedish contractor so we didn't do much business with that company. I didn't realize it at the time but later I knew why I was having such a strange feeling.
Later when looking back at the mails I'm 100% sure it was AI written. Because it said ChatGPT in hidden places.

@tsturm
I'd say there's a confirmation bias built-in.
Providing even the option to officially state abstaining from the use of LLM-tools or even gaining "negative saving" by the use of these tools would contradict the image of LLMs being helpful and reshaping the workplace landscape.So, obviously, none of the people putting their names under multi-million - if not billion - dollar contracts licensing LLM models want to hear or read they made a wrong - and costly - decision.

@tsturm "how much time you are saving a week".
that survey tells you more about the people that set it, than the results will tell them.

AI tools I use: Intellisense, compiler warnings
Time saved per week: 0.25 hours with Intellisense, 0.75 with compiler warnings

@tsturm every day there comes a time i start wondering: who are these people? is my non-ai echo chamber this robust? who are these people?
you hang in there, man. surely there's nothing stupid that comes out of entrusting one's decisionmaking and sanity to arbitrary code hallucinations, this is definitely the way of the future.
@happyturtlethings I'm not doing it until they literally tell me they'll fire me otherwise. And then I will use AI in the most ridiculous way possible, because fuck all of this.
-
@tsturm There were no option for negative saving because of fixing problems from your coworkers ai usage?
@eq Nope. You ARE using AI and you ARE OBVIOUSLY saving dozens of hours every week.

@eq It's really weird - now that I fully suspect this coworker to use GPT for their answers, I don't want to interact with them and even just responding to these messages feels now like an insult.

@syn_rst Yep, when this AI stuff doesn't work out, the top management will 100% blame their employees for just using the fantastic AI wrong.

@tsturm 10/10 approach. it's not even a hill to die on, just a hill from which to watch the trainwrecks.

I have been getting random push surveys from various companies with the same deficit.

@tsturm Yup, some people I know just had an AI course at work where they were asked to describe how it improves their work & there was no option to say "not at all"... It's insane, no business worth the tiniest amount of salt should act like this for anything.

@n1xnx @tsturm I've been completely open at work (where there's also a strong pro-AI policy
They pay me for the results I'm supposed to produce & AI isn't helping me do that, so if they make me use AI they take time away from my result-producing work, making me less valuable as an employee, while still paying my fairly generous hourly rate. So far it has kept management from insisting...
