@AndrewRadev They're probably pushing avocado toast into the AI
@stx @AndrewRadev
Hello, as an older gen Z I have to inform you, that avocado toasts belong to the millennials. The avocado toasts are millennials property and we do not claim it. -

@AndrewRadev it's definitely only Gen Z doing it. Cough. Yeah. Cough. Bad kids. So afraid of change. Not like us old timers. Cough.

Seems like there's a concentrated push to find someone, anyone, to blame for the complete flop of AI: https://2ndbreakfast.audreywatters.com/and-i-would-have-gotten-away-with-it-too-if-it-werent-for-those-pesky-kids/
> [...] companies are responding to this failed revolution (that is, to the lack of interest, lack of demand) by ramming the "AI" down our throats whether we like it or not. Students didn't want to use Khanmigo, the Chalkbeat article explains. So "now Khanmigo is incorporated directly as a way students can get advice as they’re working through specific problems. A spokesperson said the organization made this change because 'students were not seeking out Khanmigo’s help as much as we had hoped.'" Don't want it? Too bad. It's part of the curricular infrastructure now, suckers.

@AndrewRadev last time I checked all major models failed at least 96 % of jobs.
This performance is only possible when you always use all models and pick the best results. -

It cannot be right that the money a company saves through this tech is then "picked up" by the state (and thus our taxes) in unemployment and social protections.
We all are going to be affected to a greater or lesser degree by this, there needs to be new legislation to protect sacked workers and tax payers. This needs to be a very expensive decision for employers.

@AndrewRadev What do you want to bet that the "sabotage" was mostly just people refusing to use an obviously useless and frustrating toy to perform their supposedly important everyday tasks.

@AndrewRadev funny story. Started using <company mandated genai> to 'summarize my email and chat messages from yesterday until today' - seemed to be working pretty well. saved me 30 minutes of obsessive email and chat scouring. I still glance at the messages myself, but no longer to the same level of diligence I had been for the last decade since becoming a senior specialist.
Fast forward to friday, where its feedback was 'you are OOO today (i was not) and that the deployment to integration QA was a resounding success (it had failed)' i had a laugh, perused messages, nothing jumped out, went on with my day.
10am the Domain Architect pings me asking how the P0 raised from yesterday is coming along.
Not only had Jira not updated to include the defect raised, it went entirely missed by both gen AI as well as my cursory review of the over 500 messages I received from the previous day.
Luckily my QA was diligent and had already started the recreation, and intellisense with call heirarchy allowed me to quickly and efficiently resolve the issue, but holy fuck folks, that was almost my 21 year career.
so yeah. #genAI is going fucking great.

@AndrewRadev Same energy: upstart gen z chefs are sabotaging their kitchen's Easy-Bake Oven rollout. Except easy-bake ovens actually do accomplish their task to a reasonable level of correctness way more than the 90% of the time that LLMs supposedly succeed.

I am not anti-AI, but just only enjoy it's print on the computational part of using my PC, not questioning it as it continually suggests. Though the continual *aid* is very irritating in some apps, which I then ignore as much as possible.

@AndrewRadev I doubt it's "fear" driving them. Instead, a smarmy "we'll see about that" as they nonchalantly work to tear down the system from the inside.

@AndrewRadev just using it and stubbornly refusing to correct obvious errors and omissions would be enough in most cases…

@AndrewRadev Have you seen what counts as sabotage according to that silly survey? "Some employees report entering proprietary company information into a public tool or using non-approved tools.". Is it a bad thing? Yes, as bad as shadow IT. I wouldn't count it as sabotaging AI... like you wrote it's a preemptive blame management.

@AndrewRadev This is NOT a new thing... similar has happened before. Look for clues to figure out how things worked out then, and may work out now. Don't give up - adjust.

@AndrewRadev Big Principal Skinner Energy lmao. If there was anybody who sabotaged the rollout it was the deranged lunatics who tried to ram it into every possible available orifice they could find.

@AndrewRadev I’m not anti AI (small scale, focused, and carefully trained models can do amazing things) but LLMs can’t die quickly enough. The fact that they can’t do what they are being sold for is the least of my concerns. Power, water, ethics, legality of training data, de-skilling of people, eventual need to charge what these things actually cost plus a margin, oh and all future training data is just rehashes of the old data. And anything really new has… no training data at all.
Just a few issues. What’s to go wrong?

@AndrewRadev millennials are too old to kill anything any more, so now the burden has shifted to gen z

@AndrewRadev This sounds like a Scooby Doo episode.
It also sounds like AI techbro propaganda explaining why their stuff is less than useful.

@AndrewRadev I mean as an old school software engineer I’d probably be able to find a lot of work after 2-3 more years of even medium scale LLM use in the industry to “write” software. But that’s only if I want it, because by then I won’t need to work, I’ll be choosing to work.
