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.

I genuinely wonder what these executives have in their mind.

What do they think? That engineers are good enough for being hired but not good enough to decide which tools to use?

If I hire a plumber and I tell them what tool to use, the plumber would either comply and do a bad job or will tell me to get lost.

Why do they think this is different?

Do some engineers like LLM? Sure! And let it be Do some engineers don’t like LLM? Yes… and let it be.

If these tools are so miraculous the engineers that use them will provide such good results that will naturally prevail.

Why the executives need to thumb the scale?

They're thinking that the chatbots are just a few weeks away from making hiring people obsolete so they can finally get infinite money forever.

So, not thinking at all.

Exactly. That's the smell that stinks from miles away.
