They say AI isn’t profitable.

@stefano I think yesterday or the day before I read something similar about Microsoft delivering poor products to their customers and they literally created an aftermarket and a support ecosystem by this.
️@Tionisla I can totally believe it.

AI bubble secretly created by tech support companies so they get paid to clean up the mess when it pops
@FediThing

@stefano When everyone is building apps with AI, sell tech support.

@Tionisla I can totally believe it.
@stefano same

@stefano AI is just a tool. You have to use it in the right place at the right time.
When someone wants to cut corners, they will just pay for it later. Glad you could invoice for that!
I know other guys who rightfully do not like Windows, but are grateful for the work fixing the crazy things they do.

@NickBergenComputerQuest True. I'm not against technologies. I'm against the abuse of technology. Or misuse of technology. Or imposition of technology.

@stefano Totally agree. These poor LLM's are definitely going to need therapy.

@stefano I hope you charged them extra

@stefano True - but... when I was a craftsman, some of my most lucrative jobs were fixing bad builders' errors, usually on a short time schedule; customers in that situation are usually less cost-sensitive & I'd have to work weekends, so my bill went up.
- but it stops being fun very quickly. You're rarely hired to do a good job; just to unfuck someone else's mistakes as much as time & budget allows. For me, at least, this did not make for satisfying work...

@jwcph I totally agree. But they usually learn the lesson and stop doing things in the bad way. The next time, they'll call a proper consultant or specialist.

@stefano It's a great way to open a working relationship - you saved their butt, after all

@stefano the good news is the AI slop market might create an AI slop fixer position
the bad news is that this might set innovation back a decade -

@stefano We have to admit, to think is something from the past.

@stefano
The absolute horseshit going on right now will keep me employed until 50 years after my death. -
@stefano hehehe
-
@stefano well, in this case you are profitable from AI 🥲

@stefano everybody hates potholes in the road.
