"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.

In an effort to stem the bleeding from the backlash about their AI usage and their CEO's meltdown, they decide to do the exact opposite and go all in.

...I'm tired, boss.

This reads like every bad programmer/manager on Lemmy/Reddit that calls me a Luddite every time I push back on their wild assertions about LLMs and code. Absolute clownery.

Indeed, a healthy message could be: "We are making these novel tools available to our software experts and trusting their expertise to make the most of them".

However they can't resist deciding that all of a sudden they, despite not actually knowing the space at all, know better than the people actually in the space. Lot's of people who might not even know what a job even is about becoming 'experts' who want to backseat drive how you do things. They read an article asserting that git isn't "AI appropriate" and tell you that you should be switching to an "AI appropriate" thing, despite not having ever touched software development at all, or even knowing what sort of software you produce let alone using it.

I really can't wait for the bubble to pop and these types to get bored of trying to pretend they can lead through micromanagement in a domain they don't actually understand.
