"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.

If they were actually firing bad employees then they would start with the executives. The whole AI thing is largely a reflection of what executives think work is, where you just need to prompt your employees better to get better results
I always think that's the reason of AI overconfidence.
Look at it this way: if AI was my boss, got a lots of things kinda wrong and some things totally wrong, I'd just ignore the bs and do my job the way things actually work.
So from employee perspective, CEOs are easy to replace because they just assign work to be done. Because that's the easy part and if you give wrong instructions, someone with actual intelligence and actual hands would eventually do it right.
Flip the coin, and get someone that knows their stuff and let them assign work to incompetent people and or AI, and what do you get? Slop.
That's what I said/meant.
