"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Ours said the same thing back in December. Our principal engineer said we had to start using the chatbot for all coding.
I’ve tried it but at some point it gets faster for me to do it myself 50% of the time. And some of the other times it’s just flat out wrong. The times it gets it right are great; but I hate feeling like I’m relying on a slot machine for my job.
I just started using it just to commit and for PRs to make it look like I’m using it all the time. Burns tokens and execs can’t tell the difference.
Towards the end of the month I just start generating mindless crap so I don't get "dinged" for under-using AI.
The rest of the month I always set the model to the most expensive to try to naturally burn through my quota and get marginally less annoyed by the even worse suggestions from the default models.
Since burning through tokens really involves letting it invoke commands, I don't really burn that much naturally since I don't like reviewing and approving commands and I'm sure as hell not going to let it just run comands at will.
